Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry has suspended the state’s U.S. House primary elections, moving the date from May 16 to July 15. This decision followed a 6-3 Supreme Court ruling that threw out Louisiana’s previous congressional map, which had included a Black American majority district. By delaying the election to implement a new map more favorable to Republicans, Landry has effectively invalidated more than 42,000 absentee ballots that had already been submitted.
