Court blocks Louisiana's congressional map and orders legislature to draw a new one, ruling it should have an additional majority-Black district.
If the ruling is upheld, it would likely net Democrats an additional seat in the US House of Representatives.The now-blocked map had passed in March after the GOP-controlled legislature overrode Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards' veto of the map.
Louisiana officials have already told the court they're going to appeal the decision. In a March opinion regarding Wisconsin's state legislative lines, the US Supreme Court said the legislature would have"sufficient time" to adopt a new map. At the time, there were 139 days until Wisconsin's primary. Louisiana's primaries will take place on November 8 -- more than 150 days away.
