Louisiana lawmakers pass new congressional map eliminating a majority-Black district.
Louisiana's Republican-controlled legislature approved a new congressional map that eliminates one of the state's two majority-Black districts. The map was drawn in response to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that rejected the previous map as an illegal racial gerrymander. The change is expected to give Republicans an advantage in one House seat ahead of the November midterms.
