WASHINGTON — In a closely watched racial gerrymandering case, the Supreme Court on Thursday declined to allow a federal judge in Louisiana to move forward with plans to oversee the drawing of new state congressional map that could potentially be used in the 2024 election. The court rejected the emergency requests of civil rights groups challenging Republican-drawn map used in the 2022 election that they say shortchanged Black voters.
The Supreme Court action is not the final word in the case as a separate issue is pending at the appeals court. Dick ruled last year that the state's original map was likely discriminatory under the Voting Rights Act, but the ruling was put on hold while the Supreme Court handled a similar case from Alabama.
