Supreme Court late Monday took the unusual step of accelerating its decision that has led Louisiana lawmakers to redraw the districts from which voters will elect six representatives to the U.S. The high court agreed to hurry its paperwork ordering lower courts to apply the new standards from their decision last week to weaken the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in Louisiana v Callais. Six conservative justices joined to find Louisiana’s 6th Congressional District, represented by Rep. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge, unconstitutionally relied on race when drawn by the Legislature in 2024.
