The Supreme Court on Monday took a step toward forcing Louisiana to redraw its House map, a move expected after the court ruled against Alabama’s congressional map earlier this month.
The high court, which found that Alabama’s map likely violated the Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of Black voters, declined to hear a challenge to a lower court ruling forcing Louisiana to redraw its map.
The Supreme Court ordered the Louisiana case down to the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, which is bound by the ruling in the Alabama case.
