Louisiana passes new congressional map, dismantling one majority-Black district
Louisiana has approved a new congressional map that eliminates one majority-Black district, responding to a Supreme Court ruling on racial gerrymandering. The new map is expected to favor Republicans, potentially resulting in a 5-1 congressional delegation. This decision has sparked controversy and is likely to face legal challenges from voting rights advocates.
- ▪The new congressional map was passed by Louisiana Republicans and eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts.
- ▪The map is expected to elect five Republicans and one Democrat to Congress, increasing the GOP's advantage.
- ▪Democrats have criticized the map for reducing minority representation in a state where Black residents make up nearly one-third of the population.
