re: This proposed district map of Louisiana is absolutely nuts

So, Landry told the leftist judge to gerrymander a district to create a racially biased district because of graves? How does that make sense?
The federal judge ignored standing precedent and required 2 racially gerrymandered districts.
You could achieve this with a more reasonable 5th in Northeast Louisiana being the other district, but Landry wants the lost seat to be Graves.
In order to meet both goals you need the screwy map.

There aren’t enough blacks in North La to create a geographically logical black district up there. Hence why all of the maps have to combine Shreveport with NBR.
The whole premise is ridiculous.

The legislature is redrawing the map, not the Governor. This is the same personal gripe so many had with Landry during his campaign. Certain posters have deep personal issues with him and will stop at nothing to blame him for everything.
If the districts aren't redrawn then the liberal judge will appoint someone. The judge gave them a deadline. How is this Landry's fault?
