Supreme Court Rejects Louisiana Congressional Map

The Supreme Court ruled Louisiana's 2024 congressional map an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. Justices delivered the 6-3 decision along ideological lines.

The contested map created a second congressional district with a majority-Black population. Opponents argued the map violated the Constitution by prioritizing race in district creation.

The ruling halts the use of the map for future elections. Louisiana will need to draw a new congressional map that complies with the court's decision. Details regarding the implementation timeline remain unclear.
