KYLE ARDOIN, in his official capacity as the Acting Secretary of State of Louisiana, Defendant. AMENDED COMPLAINT 1. Plaintiffs—African-American voters in Louisiana—bring this action to challenge Louisiana Revised Statute § 18:1276.1 (hereinafter “2011 Congressional Plan”), which dilutes African-American voting strength and denies African-American voters in Louisiana the equal opportunity to elect candidates of their choice for the U.S. House of Representatives in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, 52 U.S.C. § 10301. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin Defendant from enforcing the 2011 Congressional Plan and from administering any elections under the illegal map. 2. Between the 2000 and 2010 census, Louisiana’s population grew by 1.4 percent from 4,468,976 to 4,533,372. Due in large part to displacement caused by Hurricane Katrina, this growth rate was far below the national growth rate of 9.7 percent over the same period. As a result, following the 2010 census, Louisiana lost one congressional district, reducing its delegation in the U.S. House of Representatives from seven members to six. Despite the reduction in seats, Louisiana’s African- American population remained steady; as of 2010 nearly 32.6 percent of Louisiana’s population Case 3:18-cv-00625-SDD-EWD Document 19 08/21/18 Page 2 of 30 was African American, making Louisiana the state with the second highest percentage of African- American population in the country.
