The Louisiana House presented a new congressional voting map on Thursday, which is expected to pass the Legislature following a month of discussions. The proposed map maintains a similar structure to previous versions, featuring one Democratic-leaning district that connects Black communities from New Orleans to Baton Rouge and five predominantly Republican districts. Some adjustments were made to address concerns between the House and Senate. U.S. Rep. Clay Higgins criticized the map, calling it poorly designed, while state Rep. C. Denise Marcelle expressed concerns about its impact on Black representation. The map includes changes to several districts, including adjustments in the Acadiana area and the splitting of certain parishes between districts to comply with population requirements.
