Louisiana lawmakers approve new congressional map aimed at increasing Republican representation
Louisiana lawmakers passed a new congressional map on May 29, 2026, aimed at increasing Republican representation while preserving one majority-Black district represented by Democrats. The map's approval follows a Supreme Court ruling that struck down the previous map as an illegal racial gerrymander. Legal challenges are anticipated as Democrats criticize the new map for potentially packing Black voters into a single district.
