and it's 70% white
but his district voted 62% Obama in 2008
And Clinton won 58 to 36
What state is he from?
illinois
Illinois
Oh
Yeah fuck him
My district, LA-1, is basically made of New Orleans suburbs.
his type need to be wiped off the face of the earth
Pretty much yeah
His best "scandal" ever was when they revealed he had some small ties to David Duke
>just slides into another 70% landslide reelection
Pretty much any scandal he's been into's been wiped out tenfold by that berniebro
good thing he made it past that
Yeah pretty much
Also, a recent surprise for me was that Louisiana didn't lose our seventh CD because of a decrease in population (due to Katrina)
It was actually just that our population didn't grow fast enough.
@Nuke How the GOP could solidify control of Louisiana
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.
lol wtf Louisiana
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
