Louisiana suspends House elections after Supreme Court strikes down congressional map

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This action allows the legislature time to draw a new map, as the current one was deemed an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The ruling could potentially reduce the number of majority-Black districts in the state. AI
