The Supreme Court will hear a significant case over Louisiana's congressional map, which could redefine the interpretation of the Voting Rights Act in redistricting.
This legal battle highlights the critical nature of majority-Black districts in determining power balances within the House of Representatives amidst razor-thin margins.
Louisiana's redistricting reflects a broader issue in the South, where courts have previously mandated map revisions due to allegations of racial discrimination.
The conflict centers around the constitutional implications of the Republican-drawn map after the 2020 census, which showed an increase in the state's Black population.
