BATON ROUGE — A collection of four LSU and Tulane professors suggested a new congressional district map Monday that would serve as a compromise between a map created in 2022 and the proposed map that would give the state a second majority-Black district.
According to a court filing, the LSU-Tulane coalition's map would remedy multiple problems the proposed map has. The coalition's map — titled Amicus — includes two crossover districts based in New Orleans and Baton Rouge where Black voters have a fair opportunity to elect candidates.
However, the map proposed Monday has no majority-Black districts.
The filing also notes that the suggested map is not overly race-conscious.
The map is DOA. If there's even a hint it could get serious consideration, Gravy, the NAACP, etc. will be out in front of the cameras screaming about how it's going to allow blacks to be lynched in the streets.
