True or False: Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill originally defended the 2024 map with two majority-Black districts but reversed her position in September 2025.

Question

Accepted Answer

Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill initially defended the 2024 map with two majority-Black districts as constitutional and necessary to comply with Allen v. Milligan. Then in September 2025, she reversed course and filed a brief arguing Section 2 itself violates the Constitution. This flip aligned Louisiana with the conservative challengers and signaled to the Supreme Court that even the state that drew the map now believes it should be struck down.
