The Louisiana state Capitol stands prominently, April 4, 2023, in Baton Rouge, La. Louisiana lawmakers now have until the end of January 2024 to draw and pass new congressional boundaries to replace a current map that a federal judge said violates the Voting Rights Act by diluting the power of the state’s Black voters. Baton Rouge-based U.S. District Judge Shelly Dick issued a two-week extension Thursday afternoon, Nov. 30, giving lawmakers extra time to construct a congressional map.
