The Supreme Court announced Monday it would hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging Louisiana ’s congressional redistricting plan that has two majority-Black districts.

The decision, which came in the case Callais v. Landry , brought by non-Black voters against Secretary of State Nancy Landry .

The case will turn on an argument from a set of strange bedfellows: conservative Attorney General Liz Murrill and Black voters.

The court’s decision in Callais v. Landry will be of national significance, as the balance of power in Congress teeters on the edge.

Republicans are currently favored by a razor-thin margin to maintain control of the House in this week 's election.

A single district flipped one way or the other could make all the difference in the 2026 election.
