Tuesday that required Louisiana to create a second congressional district where Black voters are in the majority.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan would have denied the request, the court’s brief order said. Louisiana kept its allotment of six members of the U.S. House as a result of the 2020 census, and the Legislature drew new boundaries for districts that included one where Black voters were in the majority, the same as before the census. But that prompted a lawsuit that said that because the state’s population is one-third Black, a third of the congressional districts should be ones where minority voters were in the majority.
