BATON ROUGE, La. (Louisiana Illuminator) - A Louisiana legislative committee has killed two bills that would have added eight new majority Black districts to the state House and Senate. The author of the proposals, Louisiana Legislative Black Caucus Chairman Rep. Edmond Jordan, D-Baton Rouge, argued the maps are necessary because a federal judge has ruled the current state legislative maps, adopted in 2022, violate the federal Voting Rights Act.
