The Supreme Court on Tuesday, Reinstated a Congressional Map in Louisiana, that a Judge had previously Blocked for likely Discriminating against Black Voters.
A Lower Court had found that the Republican-drawn Map of the State's Six House of Representatives Districts "diluted the power of Black voters", and thus likely ran in Violation of the Voting Rights Act (VRA).
All Three of the Supreme Court's Liberal Justices Dissented from the Tuesday order, which "included no reasoning, blocked the judge's order, and granted a petition seeking review in the case."
The High Court paused the Drawing of an New District in Louisiana, until it decides a similar Alabama Case. Arguments in that Case are scheduled for Oct. 4th.
The Louisiana Congressional Map in question, will now remain in place for the Next Election.
The Judge who issued the Injunction in the Louisiana Case, had ordered the State Legislature to add a Second Majority-Black District to its Map.
The State, not long after, asked the Supreme Court to step in and Freeze the Lower Court's Opinion.
