re: This proposed district map of Louisiana is absolutely nuts

There aren’t any areas that would allow for two black districts without networking parishes in different areas of the state.
I agree, however, EBR has a large black population. That just so happens to be Garrett Graves district. While EBR itself doesn't have enough of that population to create a district within EBR by itself, it does have a large portion of whatever gerry mandered district they create. Thus Graves district being affected by this rezoning isn't unusual, and the lashing out at Landry over this is nonsensical and goes back to many posters personal issues they have with Landry.
I'm not even a big Landry fan, but the intense hatred some have against him is strange.

That’s incorrect. Much of BR proper is not in Graves’ district, its in Roy Carter’s second district.

Look at the current situation and the revised situation and Graves’ district is gone.
There are other options.
Now I can’t tell you why Landry decided to go with this one, but he did. What’s he saying?
