The Louisiana Legislature started considering yet another set of congressional district maps, planning to identify one that is clearly constitutional, a process aided by the recent U.S. The high court ruled that it’s not OK to consider race and racial proportionality as a factor, but it’s perfectly fine to draw maps — of any kind — based on intentional, obvious political advantages. The SCOTUS decision clears a path for our Louisiana Legislature and other legislatures to draw maps that don’t take into account how many Black or Latino people reside in our state or other states. Nationally and locally, if Republicans do what the Supreme Court says they can do with their 6-3 blessing, the 62-member Congressional Black Caucus will likely be a shadow of itself, the 37-member Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus would continue but with fewer members, and Louisiana cities and parish boards, councils, districts and juries could find themselves with all-White or majority-White representatives.
