Louisiana lawmakers passed a new congressional map on Friday designed to pick up a Republican seat while leaving the state with just one of its two majority-Black House districts represented by Democrats.

On Tuesday, judges in the Western District Court of Louisiana set a June 17 hearing to determine whether the newly elected congressional map meets the requirements of Louisiana v. Callais. The hearing is scheduled for 10 a.m. in Courtroom 1 of the United States Courthouse in Shreveport.

Spurred by a watershed Supreme Court ruling last month that weakened the Voting Rights Act, Republican leaders have created a new map that eliminates one majority-Black, Democratic-leaning district.

Approval of the new House map came a month after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the state's current map as an illegal racial gerrymander, weakening the landmark 1965 federal Voting Rights Act.
