The party now has a slight edge heading into this year's midterm elections.
Because of the ruling, state officials suspended the elections for Louisiana's House seats.
That's even though more than 100,000 absentee ballots have already been sent out to voters, and those ballots contain the slate of House races.
Ballots that will be used during early voting in Louisiana will also feature these candidates.
However, state officials sent notices to early voting sites that even though voters will have those races on their ballots, barring a successful lawsuit, those votes will not be counted.
The other contests in the primary, including a closely watched Senate race, will continue on as normal.
The last day of voting in Louisiana is May 16.
