The Supreme Court on Wednesday denied a civil rights group’s motion to recall the Louisiana redistricting judgment.
The Supreme Court last month declared Louisiana’s newly-drawn Congressional map an unconstitutional gerrymander.
The high court issued the ruling 6-3.
Liberal justices Sotomayor, Kagan and Jackson dissented.

Louisiana delayed its May 16 House primaries last Thursday after the Supreme Court’s blockbuster ruling.
“Yesterday’s historic Supreme Court victory for Louisiana has an immediate consequence for the State. The Supreme Court previously stayed an injunction against the State’s enforcement of the current Congressional map,” Governor Landry said last month.
“By the Court’s order, however, that stay automatically terminated with yesterday’s decision. Accordingly, the State is currently enjoined from carrying out congressional elections under the current map. We are working together with the Legislature and the Secretary of State’s office to develop a path forward,” he said.

Conservative Justice Samuel Alito blasted liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as the Supreme Court sped up a timeline and immediately allowed Louisiana’s redistricting judgment to go into effect ahead of the midterms.
“The dissent in this suit levels charges that cannot go unanswered,” Alito wrote. “The dissent would require that the 2026 congressional elections in Louisiana be held under a map that has been held to be unconstitutional.”
A civil rights group filed a motion to recall the Supreme Court’s Louisiana redistricting judgment.
On Monday, the Supreme Court, without any dissent, denied their motion.
