After a month of contentious political battles, the Louisiana Legislature gave final approval Friday to a voting map for Congress that eliminates one of the state’s two majority-Black districts.

Spurred by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that undermined the Voting Rights Act, the state’s Republican supermajority drew a map that creates five solidly Republican districts and one solidly Democratic district that connects Black communities from New Orleans to Baton Rouge.


quote:

They axed a majority-Black district that elected U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge, and which runs diagonally from Baton Rouge in the south up through Shreveport in the north. That district is set to become a solidly Republican district in the capitol region.


quote:

Gov. Jeff Landry is expected to sign the new map into law. But it faces legal challenges both from Black elected officials, who say it violates redistricting laws, and from the original plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case, who are White and say the new map still relies too much on race.

The intense media scrutiny and Republican attacks facing Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine over his controversial and inflammatory past online comments and his now-removed but well-publicized tattoo on his chest that resembled a Nazi symbol don't appear to be slowing him down.

A new public opinion poll shows Platner holding an upper single-digit lead over longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine in a race that is among a handful that will likely decide if the GOP holds its slim 53-47 majority in the Senate in this year's midterm elections.

Platner, a progressive candidate backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont, stands at 51% support among likely Maine voters, with Collins at 42%, in a Pine Tree State poll conducted by the University of New Hampshire. Six percent of respondents were undecided, with 2% backing other candidates.

Minnesota's Democratic governor on Wednesday pardoned an illegal alien previously convicted of armed robbery before he could be deported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Jai Vang, an illegal alien from Laos, was convicted of aiding and abetting and armed robbery in Hennepin County in 1994, according to FOX 9. The incident occurred when he was 18 years old.

He served his prison term, and was released back into the United States.

The Supreme Court said in its Callais ruling that political considerations are an acceptable factor in redistricting.

But the Callais plaintiffs, in legal filings this week, say the new map may also run afoul of the Supreme Court’s ruling, because it still has one district drawn in a way that ensures a majority of voters are Black.

“The current legislative session ends on June 1, 2026,” they wrote. “If the Legislature fails to enact a new map by then or enacts SB121 without any substantial changes to the current structure, Plaintiffs may well ask the Court to schedule proceedings to impose a remedy that fully complies with Callais.”


quote:

The plaintiffs accuse state leaders of intentionally slow-walking the creation of a new map so that there will not be enough time for a legal challenge before the November elections. For example, they said Secretary of State Nancy Landry’s office is refusing to give them a hard deadline for when it would need an approved map to conduct the election.

The plaintiffs asked Louisiana’s federal Western District Court to require the secretary of state’s office to declare that deadline. On Wednesday, the court agreed.

“The Secretary of State’s prompt disclosure of her deadline to implement any new congressional districting map will provide clarity to the parties and the Court in advance of scheduling any necessary remedial proceedings once a new congressional districting map is enacted,” a three-judge panel wrote.
