Louisiana delayed its May 16 US House primary elections Thursday after the Supreme Court invalidated the state's congressional map as an unconstitutional gerrymander, though primaries for other races including a competitive Senate Republican primary will proceed as scheduled. Early voting was set to begin Saturday and overseas ballots had already been distributed, but votes cast in House races will not count; state leaders said they are preparing to redraw the map and set a new primary date.
