quote:

After a month of contentious political battles, the Louisiana Legislature gave final approval Friday to a voting map for Congress that eliminates one of the state’s two majority-Black districts.

Spurred by a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that undermined the Voting Rights Act, the state’s Republican supermajority drew a map that creates five solidly Republican districts and one solidly Democratic district that connects Black communities from New Orleans to Baton Rouge.


quote:

They axed a majority-Black district that elected U.S. Rep. Cleo Fields, D-Baton Rouge, and which runs diagonally from Baton Rouge in the south up through Shreveport in the north. That district is set to become a solidly Republican district in the capitol region.


quote:

Gov. Jeff Landry is expected to sign the new map into law. But it faces legal challenges both from Black elected officials, who say it violates redistricting laws, and from the original plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case, who are White and say the new map still relies too much on race.

The 1 remaining "black" district is so badly gerrymandered it should not exist either.

LA Legislative Republicans are a bunch of cowards.

Agree, if/when the Callais group sues, it will be gone.

Louisiana has been voting mostly republican for decades now. What has it gotten you? Louisiana still poor af, education sucks, pollution is horrible, etc. So what's the benefit for someone who isn't a cuck that thinks one party is inherently good and the other is evil?

After all of this, we’re right back at the same dogshit map we started with.

The legislature is so useless.

Not really. The obscene corruption of Democrat Edwards forced the blue dog Democrats hand to finally not vote Democrat. Louisiana being red is a relatively new thing compared to the history of the state. Except for it's major cities and public school boards within those cities.

Well, under Democrat Edwards, we were forced to shut down during covid, meanwhile he was dining at the country club mask free.

education sucks


Thank a Democrat

pollution is horrible,


Not really

Ah, so if i just supported the pedos on the left i wouldnt' be a cuck? Is that your brilliant reply?

Let me enlighten you, genius. I will NEVER vote for a Democrat, ever. You all are immoral, leaches. You lust for power and taxes, and provide no benefit within your systems. Your recent sprint to sexual mutilation of children, transgenderism, and anti-white, anti-Christian, and anti-decency has assured yourself of never receiving a vote from my. So your appeals to me because the Republicans suck, doesn't work.

Republicans may be cowards. But i only vote for Republicans to make sure Democrats never regain power. Spinelessness of the Republican party is much preferred over the lack of decency of your party.

You want my vote, stop being batshit crazy and get rid of the goblins in your own party and maybe we can talk.

You're a cuck if you think one party is inherently better than the other - especially since you support a president who at the very least partied with a pedo for years and had worked nonstop to keep said friend's secrets from becoming public.

quote:

anti-white, anti-Christian, and anti-decency


If you feel bad about being white you should seek out help. Furthermore you put importance upon being white and seem to have no problem supporting a president who partied with a pedophile until a business deal caused a falling out (not the pedophilia) yet claim Christianity as being of importance to you - seems contradictory. Btw, there aren't any white people in the Bible. When it comes to decency - your president paid prostitutes while married and your governor had suspicious coke under his house. That's decency? ??

You've been brain washed if you think red=good and blue=bad.
