BATON ROUGE, La. The Louisiana House passed an amended version of SB121 on Thursday that redraws the state's congressional map, reducing the number of majority-black districts from two to one; the plan passed the House floor with a 66-36 vote and now returns to the State Senate for concurrence. The change follows a U.S. Supreme Court decision that invalidated the prior map and a May 21 committee approval of SB121 by 10-7; proponents say it secures several Republican-leaning districts while critics and voting-rights advocates warn it weakens Black voting power, and multiple legal challenges have already been filed.
