Milligan 2023-06-08 2023 2023-06 Democrat House LA Troy A. Carter C001125 troycarter.house.gov troycarter https://troycarter.house.gov/media/press-releases scraper WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Troy A. Carter, Sr. (D-La.) released the following statement in response to today’s United States Supreme Court ruling in Allen v. Milligan “I am relieved that the Supreme Court has acknowledged that the Voting Rights Act still exists in this country. I have always called for a fair redistricting process in Louisiana that protects Black voters and creates a second majority-minority congressional district. This Supreme Court ruling is a win not just for Alabamians but for Louisianans as well. Rarely do we get a second chance to get things right – now Louisiana can. “Louisiana is a diverse state and 33% Black, yet only has one majority-Black district. We must begin to overcome our tarnished past and move toward fair maps that follow the math and give Black Louisianans their rightful representation in our democratic system. I will continue to fight for equitable representation in voting for our state and around the country. “I call on the Louisiana legislature to convene and draw fair maps without spending precious resources on feudal litigation. The Supreme Court has spoken. ALL American’s voices deserve to be heard. That starts with fair districts that represent the people who live in them.” 1 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z 2026-04-08T00:08:25Z
