Louisiana passed a newly drawn map Friday eliminating institutionalized racism in one of the state\u2019s Democratic-majority districts.<\/p>\n

The legislature redrew the majority-black congressional district after the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to a key provision of the\u00a0Voting Rights Act of 1965, siding with Louisiana Republicans and President Donald Trump\u2019s administration by blocking an electoral map that created a second majority-black congressional district. The state Senate sent the bill to Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry\u2019s desk, who is expected to sign it.<\/p>\n

Democratic Louisiana Rep. Cleo Fields\u2019 district has been completely erased in the new map, while Democratic Louisiana Rep. Troy Carter\u2019s district has also been redrawn.<\/p>\n

Following the Supreme Court ruling, Landry declared a state of emergency and canceled May primary elections across the state in order to pass the map before the midterm elections in November. The House primaries will now take place on Nov. 3, with runoffs stretching into December.<\/p>\n

Republican Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins called the map \u201cthe worst [he has] seen yet.\u201d (RELATED: Game-Changing SCOTUS Ruling: Republicans Poised To Dominate 2026 House Map)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWow. I\u2019ve been quiet until now, but\u2026 THIS?\u2026 what the hell? This map is the worst I\u2019ve seen yet, and I\u2019ve seen many,\u201d Higgins said. \u201cThis Frankenstein looking thing was NO DOUBT drawn up by a very small handful of guys in a secret room. NOBODY should support this insanely bad map. \u00a0\u00a0I am 100% opposed to this latest and worst iteration of proposed Louisiana Congressional Districts.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several states redrew their maps ahead of the midterm elections, including Florida, which could hand Republicans an additional four seats in the House. Tennessee eliminated its only Democrat-majority district on May 7, prompting Democratic Tennessee Rep. Steve Cohen to decide against running for re-election.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The U.S. Supreme Court\u00a0upheld Texas\u2019 redistricting map in an April 27 ruling, which could give Republicans five additional seats in the House of Representatives. Voters in Virginia narrowly approved a referendum that would give Democrats an advantage in ten out of 11 of the state\u2019s congressional districts, though the Virginia Supreme Court deemed the referendum unconstitutional on May 8.<\/p>\n

Alabama Republicans planned to use its 2023 congressional map that contained just one Democratic-leaning district in response to the Supreme Court\u2019s ruling regarding Louisiana. A federal panel blocked the map in a Tuesday ruling, arguing that the map was intentionally discriminatory against black voters.<\/p>\n
