Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry is preparing to suspend the state's May 16 House primary elections following the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, which struck down the state's second majority-Black congressional district as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. The move, announced just days before early voting was set to begin, raises questions about gubernatorial authority to unilaterally cancel scheduled elections and could affect roughly 780,000 voters in the redrawn district — while the ruling's broader weakening of the Voting Rights Act threatens to reshape up to 19 Democratic-held seats across the South.
