I know that, but it is a hurdle Field’s would have to overcome.

Generally speaking people prefer their representatives to reside in their districts and not somewhere else. In my opinion not living in the district would cost him votes.

If you look at the district map can you honestly tell me that they didn’t include all the mostly white precincts south of Highland Road along Manchac in the sixth district so they could capture Fields’ residence? It looks that way to me.

Again, it doesnt matter. The courts want another black winner. He qualifies.

He would move, no matter where the lines were drawn, if he wins
