reuters//May 5, 2026// reuters//May 5, 2026// The U.S. Supreme Court on May 4 allowed a recent ruling that gutted a key part of the Voting Rights Act to take effect ahead of schedule, bolstering Louisiana Republicans as they pursue a new congressional voting map ahead of the November midterm elections.

President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans are fighting to maintain their control of the House, as well as the Senate, in the November elections.
