What's this case about?

Whether Louisiana's congressional map, redrawn to create a second majority-Black district in compliance with the Voting Rights Act, constitutes an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.

What are the basics?

Louisiana voters challenge a congressional map with two majority-Black districts as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander, while the state argues it complied with prior court orders under the Voting Rights Act.
