News
Lindsay Garcia is in the news because she joined a lawsuit challenging Louisiana’s decision to suspend the state’s U.S. House primaries after the congressional map was thrown into dispute. The case argues that stopping the election so close to voting, after ballots had already been mailed, could disenfranchise voters. The broader fight has since led Louisiana lawmakers to approve a new congressional map that is expected to favor Republicans and may face more legal challenges.
