Early voting continues in Louisiana today, even as the status of the state's primary elections remains in flux.

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Louisiana's congressional map, and the state's Republican governor suspended primary elections for the U.S. House so new districts could be set.

Liz Landers is in Baton Rouge tonight and joins us now with more. So Liz, just remind us,

how did we get here in the first place? And what is the latest with those efforts to redraw Louisiana's congressional maps? Amna, the Supreme Court struck down the existing map

State House, just a few steps away from where we are here in Baton Rouge, is going to start that process of redrawing the maps.

The Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee is going to meet at 9 a.m.

They're going to have public testimony as part of that.

Liz, all of this has to be very confusing for people in Louisiana. You were at the polls talking to voters today. What did they tell you?

We were at early voting locations last night and this morning. And voters are confused.

Actually, one woman that I spoke with this morning did not know about this redistricting process

and didn't realize that she may have to cast another ballot in those House primaries here.

Adding to this confusion, too, there are 40,000 people that already voted by mail and those

ballots have already been accepted by the Secretary of State.

So right now, the ballots have those House races on them, but the Secretary of State has said
