Maps, Money & the Waiting Game: Speaker DeVillier on Redistricting Reality

Speaker Philip DeVillier joins the show to break down Louisiana’s recent special session, which swiftly pushed back 2024 election dates by 30 days. Why? The state is waiting on the U.S. Supreme Court to provide a clear path for drawing legal congressional maps—after years of costly lawsuits and court rejections. DeVillier explains the stakes, the timeline, and the hope that this time, the process sticks. With millions spent on legal battles, he argues it’s time to redirect resources to roads, healthcare, and education. But even with a ruling, the threat of more lawsuits still looms.
