The Supreme Court refused to be drawn back into a dispute over a Louisiana congressional map that could force the creation of an electoral district that enhances the voting power of blacks in the state.

The court’s unsigned order in two related cases, Robinson v. Ardoin (court file 23A281) and Galmon v. Ardoin (court file 23A282), was issued late in the business day on Oct. 19.
