A year of work proving Louisiana's congressional map discriminates against Black voters. A 152-page district court opinion finding discrimination, upheld in a 33-page opinion by the most conservative federal court in the nation. Taken away by 6 justices in an act of raw power.

Again, this Court once again ensures that a redistricting plan found to be discriminatory by a district court gets at least one election to disenfranchise Black voters. It’s just unconscionable. twitter.com/gregstohr/stat…
