Federal Court Rejects Louisiana Voting Map That Created New Majority-Black District
Democracy Now! -

Two Trump-appointed federal judges rejected a new Louisiana congressional map which created a second majority-Black district. The map was drawn up after another federal judge ruled a previous voting map, which had just one Black-majority district, violated the Voting Rights Act. Roughly one-third of Louisiana’s population is Black. It remains unclear which map Louisiana will be using in November as the case is expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court.
