Supreme Court Requires Louisiana To Redraw Congressional Map To Add Second Majority-Black District

Supreme Court lifts hold on case challenging Louisiana's congressional map over concerns it diluted Black voting power.
Ruling sends case back to lower court to be resolved ahead of 2024 congressional elections in Louisiana.
Decision is expected to require Louisiana to create a second congressional district where Black voters make up the majority.
Ruling is a victory for voting rights advocates and Democrats who argued Louisiana's current map likely violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
Outcome mirrors Supreme Court ruling earlier this month invalidating Alabama's congressional map on similar grounds.
