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. Other primaries, including U.S. Senate, will proceed as scheduled on May 16, with early voting starting Saturday.

However, legal challenges remain pending before the Virginia Supreme Court.
