Louisiana mengesahkan peta baru yang menghapus distrik mayoritas kulit hitam

Partai Republik di Louisiana menyetujui peta kongres baru yang menghapus salah satu dari dua distrik mayoritas kulit hitam di negara bagian tersebut. Perubahan ini menyusul putusan Mahkamah Agung AS yang mempersempit Undang-Undang Hak Pilih.

Partai Republik di badan legislatif Louisiana mengesahkan peta tersebut pada hari Jumat dan mengirimkannya kepada Gubernur Jeff Landry, yang diperkirakan akan menyetujuinya. Batas-batas baru ini memberikan keuntungan bagi GOP di lima dari enam distrik di negara bagian itu menjelang pemilihan paruh waktu. Peta ini menghapus distrik yang dipegang oleh Anggota DPR Cleo Fields yang membentang dari Shreveport hingga Baton Rouge dan membiarkan kursi Anggota DPR Troy Carter yang berbasis di New Orleans sebagian besar tetap utuh namun dengan batas wilayah yang digambar ulang.
