Background

Redistricting in Louisiana has been subject to prolonged federal court scrutiny, particularly over whether congressional maps adequately reflect the state's Black voting-age population under the Voting Rights Act. A prior map was struck down, and the state has gone through multiple revision cycles under judicial oversight. South Carolina has similarly faced redistricting litigation following the 2020 census, with courts examining whether district lines were drawn in ways that improperly weighted race. Additional legislative sessions in both states reflect a broader national pattern of states being compelled to revisit maps well into the mid-decade period.
