DISTRICT COURT HOLDING ON RACE IN REDISTRICTING: Louisiana’s Congressional Map Is Unconstitutional.

The article focuses on a U.S. District Court ruling declaring Louisiana's congressional redistricting map unconstitutional on the grounds that District 6 was an impermissible racial gerrymander, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It examines how race, rather than traditional districting principles, predominated in drawing District 6, despite the state's claim that it sought to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
