The U.S. Supreme Court has struck down Louisiana's congressional district map, ruling it an illegal racial gerrymander, prompting Republican Governor Jeff Landry to suspend scheduled House primary elections so new boundaries can be drawn. Early voting is nonetheless continuing in the state, creating widespread confusion among residents — including roughly 40,000 who have already cast mail-in ballots whose House race results will not be counted. The ruling has broader significance beyond Louisiana, as Congressman Cleo Fields, one of two Black representatives whose majority-minority districts are affected, warned it could reshape redistricting for legislative, city council, and judicial races across the country.
