How can it be unconstitutional to base the map on race if the same court requires maps be based on race? This is a catch-22.

Are we pretending that this map was an actual attempt at creating coherent districts, even with the absurd racial requirements?

Is there another way to draw two minority majority districts? Like, literally, blacks are pretty evenly distributed around the state except around New Orleans and the River Parishes. You need a geographical area with 400k blacks that doesn’t also contain more whites. It’s really difficult to draw in Louisiana.
