Supreme Court ruling impacts congressional redistricting in Southern states

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Louisiana v. Callais that Louisiana's addition of a second majority-Black congressional district was unconstitutional. House Speaker Mike Johnson has called for other Southern states to redraw their congressional maps in light of this decision.

• The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that Louisiana's congressional map violated the Voting Rights Act.
• The ruling limits the ability of states to create majority-Black congressional districts.
• House Speaker Johnson supports redistricting efforts in other Southern states before the midterm elections.
