Supreme Court Hears Louisiana Redistricting Case
Press Robinson reflects on the Supreme Court's reargument in a historic Louisiana redistricting case, specifically the oral arguments in Louisiana v. Callais.
When Louisiana finally won a second-majority Black district in 2024, Robinson felt a sense of relief, knowing that Black voters would have a greater voice in the state's population.
This fight is far from over.
Robinson, a member of the team advocating for a fair congressional map in Louisiana since 2022, notes that the state's current congressional map is in jeopardy due to a challenge from a group of non-African-American voters.
The challenge targets the map that includes two majority-Black districts, prompting concerns about fair representation.
