Louisiana Republicans pass gerrymandered map that eliminates majority-Black district - Politico

Louisiana Republicans approved a mid-decade congressional map that eliminates a majority-Black district and shifts five of the state’s six U.S. House seats to being GOP-leaning. The change is a major political victory for Gov. Jeff Landry and for President Donald Trump, extending Republican gains during this redistricting cycle. The move follows a recent Supreme Court decision that reduced key Voting Rights Act protections and an emergency order that cleared the way for the state to redraw districts, and it has compounded earlier election administration disruption in Louisiana.
