Lindsay Garcia (D) on Thursday sued Gov. Jeff Landry ® to block the suspension of the state’s House primary elections after the Supreme Court ruled that the state’s second majority-Black congressional district was an unconstitutional gerrymander. Garcia and voter Eugene Collins argue in their lawsuit that the elections were already in progress when Landry issued an executive order on Thursday. Garcia and Collins called the suspension unconstitutional, alleging that it violates the First, Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, interferes with the timing of the election and nullifies absentee ballots. They urged the court to halt enforcement of the executive order, allow the elections to commence and count ballots already cast. They also called on refraining “from disenfranchising any qualified Louisiana voter or de-listing any qualified candidate in any contest on the May 16, 2026 or June 27, 2026 ballot.” “The State, in short, has no lawful predicate for the cancellation it has ordered,” their complaint reads. “It cannot conduct a primary under a remedial map that does not yet exist, in a remedial proceeding that has not yet begun, before a court that does not yet have jurisdiction.”
