Federal Judges Strike Down Louisiana's Newly Redrawn Congressional Map: Implications for November Elections

Broke On: Tuesday, 30 April 2024 Federal judges have struck down Louisiana's newly redrawn congressional map, leaving the state without a settled map six months before elections and potentially impacting party control of the House. The ruling found the map constituted an impermissible racial gerrymander, stitching together communities based on race to segregate voters. Critics argue it threatens voter protections for people of color. Legal challenges to electoral maps in the South, including Louisiana and South Carolina, are expected to play a crucial role in deciding which party controls the House next year.
