US Supreme Court orders Louisiana electoral map case to be argued again

  • The U.S. Supreme Court deferred its decision on June 27, 2024, to reconsider Louisiana's congressional map in a future term.
  • This legal dispute began after a 2022 ruling found Louisiana's original map unlawfully diluted Black voting power by including only one majority-Black district.
  • Louisiana's Republican-controlled legislature approved a new map in January 2024 creating a second majority-Black district, which opponents claimed relied excessively on race.
  • A three-judge federal panel blocked the new map in April 2024, ruling 2-1 it constituted racial gerrymandering violating the Constitution's equal protection clause.
  • The Supreme Court’s pending ruling will address tensions between minority voting rights protections and constitutional limits on using race in redistricting.
