"Louisiana Legislature Approves New Congressional Map with Added Black-majority District"

Louisiana's state legislature approved a new congressional map that includes a second Black-majority district, potentially endangering incumbent Rep. Garret Graves. The map, which requires Gov. Jeff Landry's signature, maintains the 2nd Congressional District as majority-Black and designates the 6th Congressional District, represented by Graves, as the state's second. This decision follows a prolonged redistricting battle and legal challenges, ultimately leading to the creation of the new map.
