The U.S. Supreme Court today opted not to intervene in a legal fight over Louisiana's disputed map of congressional districts. Reuters reports that the decision could potentially delay the adoption of a new map to replace a Republican-drawn map that was found to unlawfully dilute the clout of Black voters. More than a year ago, U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick ruled that the original map likely violates the Voting Rights Act. The justices declined to rule on an order halting proceedings on a replacement map.
