I can’t believe the courts allowed this level of gerrymandering to be frank. The districts should not be based on race at all.
Should be based on historic cultural or geographic boundaries. Then let the chips fall where they may.

How much of Lafayette does District 6 take in?
frick, I might be in it since I’m close to the Cajundome.

Fighting would accomplish nothing beyond perhaps making you feel better. Screw around enough and things could get worse.

I just don’t understand the point in punishing Graves like this. Doesn’t make much sense to me.
Landry is a petty little coonass who puts personal vendettas above what's best for the state.

I have my fingers crossed the federal court disallows this plan based on it being obviously gerrymandered.

A bigger concern of mine - and I hate to think in terms of pork - but if BR is represented by a Democrat in a red state, is our district going to be at the back of the line when it comes to federal spending in the state?
Graves did a decent job reeling in some money. He also exposed Sharon Brooke’s lie about the confidentiality agreement with the EPA that didn’t exist. I doubt Cleo exposes local corruption like that.

Talk about gerrymandering.
Posted on 1/25/24 at 12:39 pm to LSUGrad2024
I hate the whole idea of gerrymandering. It just gives the media more fodder with which to fans the flames of racial tension. With that said, I don't see anything wrong with the map when you take into account what was gonna take place regardless of how the new district was drawn.

Having people on both sides of the fence helps with pork. Look at the denunciations of the Uniparty.

IDK, he did a pretty good video that exposed the corruption of EWE!

Landry may be playing 3d chess here though. This “slash” district was previously found unconstitutional by the US Fifth Circuit based on racial gerrymandering in the 90s. If this new congressional map is declared unconstitutional, the legislature will have to go back to the drawing board.

Political affiliation of voters in louisiana is in the 40s for each party and about 15% independent.
This map produces 6 congressional districts that functionally non-competitive as between the parties.
Hooray for electing more Boeberts and Sheila Jackson Lee’s.
Congressional districts should be drawn by AI to produce the most dense districts as possible.

Graves is a piece of shite and democrat. frick em.
But I agree Landry should’ve fought like Texas did. This shite is insane and racist which defeats it’s purpose

He probably saved EBR property owners several million dollars in increased sewer fees/taxes that would have been based on a complete lie.

Getting rid of Graves is best for the state.
Never forget he was willing to sell La. down the river in order to keep personal power under a liberal California Speaker
