LWVUS and allied groups filed an amicus brief in the US Supreme Court supporting a new congressional map that created a second Black-majority district to ensure fair representation for Black voters in Louisiana. A previous lawsuit asserted that Louisiana had diluted Black voters’ voting power by failing to draw a second majority-Black district. After a federal court struck down the map, the legislature drew a map with a second-majority Black district. Several individual plaintiffs filed a lawsuit alleging that this map was a racial gerrymander. A panel sided with the plaintiffs, and the case was appealed to the US Supreme Court. LWVUS and its co-amici argued the panel’s decision was incorrect and that the legislature’s remedial map should be affirmed.
