re: Louisiana Supreme Court just accepted the St. George incorporation case

Nah aint nobody wanted Central.

Does not help that St George has a Baton Rouge address despite not being in the city.


Much like a tranny, though, calling something a part of Baton Rouge doesn’t mean it ever was.

What do you mean? It’s nice. Or was, until others discovered it. What’s left of Greenwell Springs is indicative of EBR Parish. But I wouldn’t move there now.

How many voters lived in districts like 3-56 and 3-39 at time of vote? 3-56 is large in area but can’t be densely populated. 3-39 has industrialplex area and other businesses taking up much of its area.

Any moderately to highly populated area that didn’t show support 1st time would have eaten much more into vote margin (and also added to 25% total for signatures to even get on ballot which a judge helped block before). Any that may have not shown much support but also didn’t have a lot of voters was probably worth the risk to connect to supporting areas, MS River, and probably other things that were beneficial for a future city to meet its requirements.

They went by a comparison of the number of signatures in a district to put on it ballot the first time when the judge tossed out some signatures, what BR didn’t annex, what BR annexation didn’t block access to, and what was also needed to connect to districts supporting StG to have an overall drawn up area to incorporate that was more likely to get more than the 25% signature requirement and to then win vote. Winning vote was the ultimate goal not just getting signatures or just having a vote.

Some want to push notion that to avoid being racist StG needed to include enough districts/area to ensure that the vote failed. The only people buying that crap also believed Better Together, One BR, and that StG was trying to secede from BR like the south seceded from the US.

A truer argument for racism would be any connected majority black district/area that had a high number of signatures first time around, polled well for approval, but then got drawn out in this attempt; but I have not seen anything showing this.

Why hasn’t BR with its black majority and black mayor campaigned as hard to get those drawn out areas annexed as they did pushing better together and one BR lie? Work the streets and media like against StG.

Are areas too black and poor for BR? Or does that just get used against StG?

The map is “gerrymandered” for two reasons.

1. To cut out the areas that didn’t want to be part of St. George. What’s wrong with that?

2. BR shady politics annexing large sections after the petition was filed because they are terrified to lose the tax dollars.

Exactly, and once it's finalized I will make sure to never give any of those fricks money if I can avoid it, like the hospitals.

Thanks

Does Louisiana or EBR parish still not have the ability to report the break down early voting by precinct?

Hopefully they do a better job at making sure people don’t vote in both and cleaning up voter rolls. I moved and registered in another state to vote and was left on Louisiana/EBR voters rolls for 7 to 10 years. I had to contact them directly and force issue to be fixed after someone told me they were still seeing my name on sheet you signed. Voter registration roll person “promised” no one voted using my name during this period.

I relooked at StG vote by precinct below and saw the fine print about not including early voting at the bottom. Early voting Yes’s had a margin of almost 1,200 over No’s which could theoretically swing every orange precinct. I doubt all orange would turn green, but I would bet some did. That graph is kind of pointless to argue support for or against StG by voting precinct without early voting included especially precincts against it.

FYI, the Mrs. voted early in one election and I voted the day of the election. When I signed the book it indicated that she had early voted.
