BATON ROUGE, La. – See below for a statement from Gov. John Bel Edwards on the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court to send the Louisiana congressional redistricting map case back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals:

“Louisiana can and should have a congressional map that represents our voting population, which is one-third Black. As I have consistently stated, this is about simple math, basic fairness, and the rule of law. I am confident we will have a fair map in the near future.”
