The Supreme Court has issued an order directing Louisiana to conduct congressional elections in 2024 using a House map that includes a second predominantly Black district. This decision comes despite a previous ruling by a lower court that deemed the map to be an illegal racial gerrymander.
The approved map features majority Black populations in two out of the state's six congressional districts, potentially increasing the chances for Democrats to secure control of the closely divided House of Representatives in the upcoming 2024 elections.
