Claimant
U.S. Supreme Court (majority opinion); dissent from Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, Jackson
Notes
The April 29 ruling in *Louisiana v. Callais* invalidated Louisiana's two-majority-Black-district map 6-3. The court then on May 13 expedited judgment, clearing Alabama to revert to a single majority-Black district. Several Southern states (Tennessee, Florida) are now redrawing maps in the wake of this ruling. Lawsuits have been filed in Louisiana challenging Gov. Landry's postponement of the May 16 primary. This is a rapidly developing legal story with primary documents available.
Coverage Gap
Limited coverage from right-leaning outlets on downstream effects; most right-leaning coverage frames ruling as correcting earlier overcorrection on racial gerrymandering
