    Political Wire, Wednesday - 05/15/2024 - 08:02 PM

    “The U. S. Supreme Court on Wednesday effectively ordered Louisiana to hold this fall’s congressional elections using two Black majority districts instead of one,” the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports. “The high court did so by suspending a three-judge panel’s decision that threw out a map drawn by the Louisiana Legislature in January to create two minority-majority districts.”
