The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday formally vacated its ruling that originally struck down Louisiana’s House maps after the Supreme Court eliminated race-based districts.The Fifth Circuit decision comes as Louisiana moves to redraw its maps in light of the Supreme Court ruling. The decision saw the Supreme Court narrow its interpretation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act and end race-based districts.
Louisiana had, by court order, created a second black majority district in the state. Lawmakers are expected to eliminate at least one of the two as part of their redistricting push.
The case has led to a series of redraw pushes across the South, including in Alabama, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
