re: Louisiana congressional map creating new majority-Black district ruled unconstitutional

It was a very stupid map that is based on race.
It makes no sense for parts of Baton Rouge and Shreveport to share a district. Nor does it make sense for Calcasieu and Bossier to share a district or for Hammond and Monroe to share a district. Those areas are not really linked culturally or economically.
We are approaching a point where we may not be able to logically justify two districts based in north Louisiana.

I believe the population up there is still high enough to not have a single district from Alexandria northward.

So is the current one that jumps back and forth across the river incorporating New Orleans but not the bank in Jefferson, West Bank only in St. Charles, and so on and includes North Baton Rouge.
