CA5 affirms lower court finding that Louisiana's maps violated the Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
The panel (Clinton/Normie GWB/Biden) also rejects args that VRA2 is unconstitutional.
SCOTUS has already teed up another LA case to say otherwise.

5th Cir. holds that, in 2022 redistricting, Louisiana “packed” black voters into a small number of majority-black districts and “cracked” other black communities across multiple districts in violation of VRA § 2.
