“Just last month [November 2024], the Supreme Court announced they’ll review a case to decide whether Louisiana violated the law in the January 2024 redraw of the maps, hearing the challenge from the so-called “non-African-American voters.” The decision will likely determine how congressional maps are drawn moving forward in Louisiana and could have larger implications on how the Voting Rights Act is enforced. We’ll be looking for the Supreme Court to find the January 2024 maps constitutional.” [DemocraticRedistricting.com]
