Louisiana House Approves Congressional Redistricting to Benefit Republicans. Senate to Vote Next
Republicans say the plan could give them an additional House seat as Democrats prepare a court challenge.
- On Thursday, the Louisiana House votes on Senate Bill 121, a proposed congressional map eliminating one of the state's Black-majority districts before Monday's legislative session deadline.
- Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that struck down the state's previous map as an illegal racial gerrymander, lawmakers must redraw districts to comply with the Voting Rights Act.
- Senate President Cameron Henry and other Republican leaders described their compromise as "very close," aiming to improve party strength while protecting incumbent seats from Democratic gains.
- Democratic lawmakers continue protesting, with State Rep. Edmond Jordan vowing to challenge the map in court, declaring "what we can't win through legislation, we'll win through litigation."
- Reflecting a broader Southern trend, Republicans across the region are redrawing districts following the Supreme Court's weakening of the Voting Rights Act, potentially reshaping congressional power.
