Voters suing over Louisiana’s proposed congressional districts call map ‘morally repugnant’.

Louisiana's proposed congressional map, which includes a second majority-Black district, has been called "morally repugnant" by a group of mostly White voters challenging the map. The Supreme Court is considering an emergency appeal over the map and its potential violation of the Constitution's equal protection clause. The map was created in response to a previous court ruling that found an earlier map, with only one majority-Black district, likely violated the Voting Rights Act due to discrimination against Black voters.
