There are no actual alternatives. Every possible map involves jeopardizes Graves’ district.


No they do not. Others do but some do not.

Setting aside the existing LA-2, It is not possible to draw an additional district around 750k people with a majority black population and not include much of Graves current district


Blacks are not a large part of Graves’ sixth district. They are not needed to make a second minority district.

The district has to be contiguous. Thus absolutely having to carve up Graves’ district to create geographical continuity with blacks in Alexandria and Shreveport and or blacks along the river in NELA.


So what? Half of EBR is not in Graves’ district.
You do not need those Graves precincts to make a minority district.

No, it is not. It’s fact based on census data.


All the plans submitted in the legislature are based on the census. Landry chose to push one if the plans. Why? Has he said why?
