Gov. John Bel Edwards says he's disappointed but not surprised that the Louisiana legislature overturned his veto of the state's congressional redistricting map.
The party-line votes in the House and Senate happened on Wednesday in special veto sessions.
Edwards insists there should be at least two black-majority districts, since the state's population is one-third African American.
The Legislative Black Caucus and other activist groups plan to take legal action and argue that the map violates the Voting Rights Act.
