Federal judges toss out a Louisiana congressional map, bringing fresh uncertainty to the future of a House seat

A federal court rejected a new congressional map in Louisiana, citing it as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, possibly affecting Democrats' election goals. US District Judges issued the decision.
The map, creating a second majority-Black district, was deemed invalid and cannot be used for any election. Judges Joseph and Summerhays emphasized this ruling.
An appeal to the US Supreme Court is probable, raising uncertainty over the map for the upcoming elections. Previous maps have been blocked, with a 2-1 ruling against the latest one from 2022.
