I’m from Mississippi and this parish is right next to the MS state line. We have a weird dynamic down here, until the 80’s virtually everyone voted democrat, republicans were virtually unheard of due to memories of reconstruction. When Reagan came along we started gradually voting republican for president and congress/senate but the local offices were almost all held by democrats. In many MS counties you still have to run as a democrat if you hope to have any chance of being elected to local office. Blacks are almost all democrat, but many whites will vote democrat for local elections and republican for national ones.

I suspect the same weird dynamic exists in Louisiana. For the most part any democrat from Louisiana or Mississippi is going to be a hundred times more conservative than a Mitt Romney or Susan Collins. They’re gradually coming around because most of them are tired of explaining why they’re in the same party as Nancy Pelosi or the idiot squad.
