The Louisiana House on Thursday approved a new Congressional map that eliminates a racially gerrymandered district, sending the bill to the Senate.
Louisianadelayedits House primaries late last month after a blockbuster Supreme Court ruling on a key Voting Rights Act provision.
The Supreme Court recentlydeclaredLouisiana’s previous Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.
The high court issued the ruling 6-3.
Liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.
The case, State of Louisiana v. Phillip Callais (and the related Press Robinson v. Phillip Callais), stems from Louisiana’s woke lawmakers caving to left-wing judges and creating a second “majority-minority” congressional district.
The Louisiana House voted 66-35 to approve the new map.
