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

I don’t want minority-majority districts, I want realistic districts.
But if the courts are going to force minority-majority districts, shape them as best you can.
TBH, I hope this results in the whole process getting thrown out because there is no realistic way to get two black majority districts that meet the criteria required.
It couldn’t be done in the mid-90s because of all the frickery to get the second district and it isn’t any better today.

There’s a map on page two of this thread that complies with federal court rulings.
Why is that not the map? It can’t be because that map jeopardizes Letlow’s seat (our most junior representative) instead of Graves’ seat (who Jeff Landry doesn’t like) can it?

Again, totally false.

Cleo Fields proposed map says otherwise.
District 2 would remain majority minority. District 5 would be 54% black & 51% white.
