Louisiana Suspends U.S. House Primaries After Supreme Court Ruling on Racial Gerrymandering

Louisiana has suspended its U.S. House primaries following the Supreme Court's ruling that the state's congressional map is an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The Republican-led legislature must now redraw the map, potentially eliminating at least one Democratic seat in this year's midterm elections.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6-3 along partisan lines that Louisiana's 2024 congressional map, which created a second majority-Black district, was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
