there is no realistic way to get two black majority districts that meet the criteria required.
Cleo Fields proposed map says otherwise.
District 2 would remain majority minority. District 5 would be 54% black & 51% white.

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?
Will add if the legislature doesn't act this is the map the courts will eventually make us use.

Insistence on being obsessed with race and the obsolete 70 year old VRA is the issue.
It’s pathetic the VRA is “protecting” citizens in some states, counties, townships more than in others (or basically labeling certain other people in them as discriminatory and must seek clearance from feds for any election law changes).

Smells like a 3rd Reconstruction.

What did Alaska do to deserve the penance of mandating minority representation?
