Louisiana Map Rewrites House Math

The new map has five of the state’s six House districts as GOP-leaning.

1. Frame 1Louisiana lawmakers passed a new U.S. House map after the Supreme Court struck down the two-majority-Black-district plan.
2. Frame 2The new map leaves one majority-Black district and aims to move Louisiana from a 4-2 GOP delegation to 5-1.
3. Frame 3Rep. Cleo Fields' district is redrawn; Rep. Troy Carter's New Orleans-based seat absorbs more Baton Rouge voters.
4. Frame 4The Callais ruling weakened the Voting Rights Act route that had produced the second majority-Black district in 2024.
5. Frame 5Next pressure point: Gov. Jeff Landry's signature, expected voting-rights challenges, and a delayed House primary.
