SCOTUS Restores Louisiana Voting Map with Additional Black-Majority District

HeadlineMay 16, 2024

In U.S. election news, the Supreme Court has restored, for now, a Louisiana congressional voting map that includes two Black-majority districts. The ruling upholds a map drawn in January which introduced the second Black district, and it overrules a federal court ruling that blocked that map in late April. Wednesday’s Supreme Court decision comes as a major win for Democrats, who are hoping to retake control of the House in November.
