Louisiana senators take up new US House map while South Carolina plans for extra redistricting work

Louisiana state senators are considering a new US House map that would eliminate a majority-Black district and give Republicans a chance to win an additional seat in the November midterm elections. The plan is in response to a US Supreme Court ruling that struck down Louisiana's congressional map for illegally using race to gerrymander. South Carolina is also planning for redistricting work ahead of the midterms.
