LOUISIANA ELIMINATES BLACK DISTRICT TO HAND GOP SEAT

State defies Supreme Court ruling and gutted the Voting Rights Act to dilute Black electoral power.

Louisiana deliberately redrew congressional maps to destroy a majority-Black district, directly ignoring the Supreme Court's finding that the previous map was an illegal racial gerrymander. This assault on Black voting power strips communities of political representation while strengthening Republican control. States are weaponizing gerrymandering to nullify Black voters—this is Jim Crow 2.0.
