Good morning, I'm Ed Donahue with an AP News Minute.

The AP's Mark Sherman reports the Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's second majority

black congressional district.

In a decision that could open the door for Republican-led states to eliminate black and

Latino electoral districts that tend to favor Democrats, the court's conservative majority

found a black majority congressional district in Louisiana rely too heavily on race.

The decision was an about face for the court, which less than three years ago reached

a different outcome in a similar case from Alabama.

Chief Justice John Roberts described the district as a snake stretching over 200 miles.

An effort spurred by President Donald Trump to preserve the slim Republican majority

in the House of Representatives already has led to a nationwide round of redistricting.

Florida is pressing ahead with a redistricting plan of its own.

After this Supreme Court decision, I'm Ed Donahue.
