Two weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map, state senators passed a plan Thursday that would eliminate a majority-Black district while giving Republicans a chance to win an additional seat in the midterm elections. The new U.S. House districts, which still need House approval, would be used for primary elections poised to be postponed from Saturday until November. The high court's ruling has led to a flurry of redistricting efforts in Southern states as Republicans seek to capitalize on a weakened federal Voting Rights Act. While most of those efforts are voluntary, Louisiana must redraw its U.S. House map in response to the ruling that it had illegally used race to gerrymander a majority-Black district. The map state senate lawmakers approved is now headed to a House committee. wwltv.com/article/news/politics/louisiana-senators-pass-new-us-house-map-while-south-carolina-plans-for-extra-redistricting-work/289-674f5c1a-f8ad-40f4-bd54...
