[The U.S. Supreme Court rules that Louisiana’s redistricting will take effect immediately] The U.S. Supreme Court approved the Louisiana Republican Party’s request to allow a previous important ruling on redistricting to take effect immediately without waiting for the formal process, which usually takes about 32 days. The decision means Louisiana can pause its ongoing primary process and expedite the redrawing of congressional district maps for this year's midterm elections. The new ruling effectively allows states, under certain conditions, to eliminate "majority-black precincts" created to comply with the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It is reported that there are currently 6 congressional seats in the state. Two of the seats held by Democrats are majority-black districts, and the remaining four seats are held by Republicans. This redistricting may have an important impact on the electoral pattern.
