SUPREME COURT WILL HEAR LOUISIANA MAP CASE THAT COULD IMPACT BLACK VOTERS  

Case involves how states craft minority voting districts to comply with the
Voting Rights Act.

The Supreme Court on Monday agreed to hear a complex dispute over how Louisiana
draws congressional maps that could affect the power of Black voters in the
state and the balance of power in Congress.

The case will not impact Tuesday’s election since it won’t be decided for
months, but legal experts said it could have significant ramifications for how
states consider race in drawing congressional districts to comply with the
Voting Rights Act — and therefore could impact future elections.
