Louisiana has suspended its House elections due to a Supreme Court ruling that struck down the state's congressional map. Governor Jeff Landry declared an electoral emergency, delaying primaries scheduled for May 16 and June 27. This action allows the legislature time to draw a new map, as the current one was deemed an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The ruling could potentially reduce the number of majority-Black districts in the state. AI
