Redistricting could make or break political careers

Redistricting battle: A federal judge is set in February to create Louisiana's second Black-majority congressional district if the Legislature and Gov.-elect Jeff Landry don't create it themselves. A new district could have big impacts on Louisiana political careers, Tyler Bridges reports.  

Constitutional amendments: On Nov. 18, voters statewide will decide whether to allow tax exemptions for first responders, restrict state spending, close defunct accounts and change the way the Legislature handles veto overrides. Meghan Friedmann has what you need to know. 

Vape ban: Louisiana's planned ban of several types of flavored disposable vapes came to a halt last week when a vape retailers' association sued the state to block the ban. The association says the ban will mean the vast majority of vape products can't be sold, Friedmann reports.
