GOP redraws districts, threatens voting rights

Republican lawmakers in Louisiana and Georgia are redrawing congressional maps, potentially stripping representation from majority-Black districts and gaining extra seats in tight midterm races. The U.S. Supreme Courts recent ruling on Louisianas old map has sparked a nationwide power grab, with Republicans targeting seats in states like Texas, North Carolina, and Florida. Democrats, including Senator Raphael Warnock, have criticized the moves as an extreme push to cling to control. The Louisiana plan keeps one majority-Black district but clusters the other around mostly white areas, while Georgia Republicans might target Black Democrat Rep Sanford Bishops district. These moves show how one court call is flipping the board nationwide, with more states likely to redraw lines before Democrats can block them.
