New majority-Black Louisiana House district rejected, November election map still uncertain
Fox News
A panel of federal judges rejected LA's new congressional map, which made two of the state's six districts majority-Black. This state's map from 2022 was also federally blocked.
"We will of course be seeking Supreme Court review," state Attorney General Liz Murrill said on social media. "The jurisprudence and litigation involving redistricting has made it impossible to not have federal judges drawing maps. It’s not right and they need to fix it."
Gov. Jeff Landry and Murrill had backed the new map in a January legislative session after a different federal judge threw out a map with only one mostly Black district.
