The Supreme Court heard the case of Louisiana v. Callais, which deals with alleged racial gerrymandering in Louisiana.

Louisiana has six congressional districts, four of which are Republican-controlled and two of which are Democrat-controlled. For the 2024 election, Democrats sued to redraw the district map, claiming racial gerrymandering. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit ordered the map redrawn to create two majority-black districts to reflect the fact that about one-third of the state’s population is black.
