The Court had initially agreed to hear this case finding a voting rights violation in the failure to draw another majority-minority district in Louisiana, but now dismisses the cert. grant as improvidently granted after the Court’s decision in Milligan last week.

Now watch Louisiana try to run out the clock under Purcell despite the court’s order that things be resolved in advance of 2024. And you can bet that judges on the most conservative appeals court in the country may be skeptical of a voting rights remedy despite the ringing endorsement of such remedies by the Court last week in Milligan.

Here’s the order:

21-1596 ARDOIN, LA SEC. OF STATE, ET AL. V. ROBINSON, PRESS, ET AL. (21A814)
The writ of certiorari before judgment is dismissed as improvidently granted. The stay heretofore entered by the Court on June 28, 2022, is vacated. This will allow the matter to proceed before the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for review in the ordinary course and in advance of the 2024 congressional elections in Louisiana. See this Court’s Rule 11.
