Louisiana is enacting a plan to try to help Republicans maintain control of the U.S. House in November. Republican Gov. Jeff Landry signed the redistricting plan into law Friday in a bid to give Republicans a better chance to pick up an additional seat. The state’s Republican-controlled Legislature passed the plan in response to late April’s U.S. Supreme Court ruling that Louisiana’s congressional district map constituted an illegal racial gerrymander. It’s the latest flare-up in a heated national redistricting battle, spurred along by President Donald Trump. The map makes Louisiana one of several Southern states taking steps to eliminate a majority-Black congressional district that elected a Democrat.
