Baton Rouge, LA – Today, Governor Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill issued the following statement after yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais.
“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. 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.”
