Supreme Court Orders Louisiana to Redraw Racially Gerrymandered Congressional Map
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court has ordered Louisiana to redraw a racially
gerrymandered congressional map, siding with a lower court that ordered
the state to create a second majority-Black congressional district.
Monday's ruling was celebrated by Louisiana's lone Black congressmember,
Troy Carter, who said, "In a healthy democracy fair and equitable
representation matters."
