The first of those maps is kinda off. Why incorporate all those blacks on east bank Plaquemines into the swing district?
Plaquemines as a whole voted over 60% Trump.
And as a whole you could actually just throw those voters into the other district and it wouldn't even swing it red.
In fact, the population there is so small, you actually wouldn't have an issue with needing to shrink the district elsewhere, either.
The second map isn't actually as bad as it could be, either.
The worst case scenario is gerrymandering all of the Republicans into Acadiana, probably, since Louisiana is 60% Republican.
Yeah that got struck down by a court
Outrageous gerrymander from the 90s
You just look at the map and go
wow
abominable
As you can expect, it was a Democratic district, and Louisiana had a Democratic government caused by Catholics feeling like David Duke would kill them.
He was admittedly unelectable at the time.
But in Louisiana today
He's probably electable statewide.
We have jungle primaries though
Like California
So moderates tend to win
Pretty good share considering the reputation, honestly.
Yep, 55% of the white vote.
Completely defeated in the black vote, too.
And he defeated an incumbent Republican governor in the first round
Emerging in second place
31% and then 38%
Almost like Le Pen in France
didn't Duke hold a state legislature seat
Yep, he was elected to the same district that was later held by David Vitter.
To be honest Duke has good hair
interesting data breakdown for White Women voters:
Suburban White Women: +11 R
Married Suburban White Women Some College: +27 R
Unmarried Suburban White Women Postgraduate: +28 D
Of course.
Married white women are always more Republican.
And suburbs are basically just white-flight cities
