Louisiana, a state that is approximately 30% Black, currently has two majority-Black districts out of six (33%). The ruling will likely reduce this to one district (17%), drastically underrepresenting Black voters. The author argues this decision defies both historical context and mathematical fairness, representing a conservative backlash against civil rights progress.
