Attorneys representing Louisiana in a lawsuit against the state legislative redistricting plans passed in 2022 are arguing that a key piece of the Voting Rights Act is unconstitutional and should not be applied to the state.

There’s a new congressional district in Louisiana that could help shape the balance of power in Washington this year. The state created the new 6th Congressional District after it was ordered to add a second majority Black district to the election map.

Voting rights advocates are locked in a court fight with Louisiana's top Republicans over whether the state must follow Alabama's court-ordered path in drawing a new, Black-majority congressional district.

Alabama's new, court-picked map adds a second congressional district where Black voters' preferred candidate is projected to win a majority of the time.
