The Supreme Court heard consolidated oral argument in [Louisiana v. Callais] and [Robinson v. Callais], involving a conflict between the Voting Rights Act and illegal racial gerrymandering. In March 2022, the Louisiana Legislature enacted a districting plan for the state's six congressional districts. The plan had only one majority-Black district, which resulted in a lawsuit. The U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Louisiana ruled that the plan violated the Voting Rights Act and ordered the state to draw an additional majority-Black district. The Louisiana legislature then drew a new map in January 2024 with two majority-Black districts. But then a group of non-Black voters sued Louisiana's secretary of state, arguing the new district was an unconstitutional racial gerrymander in violation of the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Louisiana ruled in their favor, and an appeal to the Supreme Court followed.
