Louisiana’s Legislature has passed a new congressional map to give the GOP another seat

The plan is expected to give Republicans a 5-1 edge and leave Black voters with one majority-Black seat, lawmakers said.

  • Louisiana lawmakers passed a new congressional map to add a Republican seat while leaving only one majority-Black district represented by Democrats.
  • The new map eliminates one of Louisiana's Black-majority districts following a Supreme Court ruling.
  • The amended congressional map passed the Senate and now awaits Governor Jeff Landry's expected signature.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court struck down a majority-Black district as an illegal racial gerrymander, which affected the Voting Rights Act's impact in Louisiana.
