The map in the article cannot make sense at all. It is obviously an attempt to insure a particular race votes for a particular race. How is it not RACIST!! If this is not shot down, then we can expect gerrymandering on steroids throughout the country.

We already have gerrymandering on steroids throughout the country. I’d like to see every state draw its congressional districts in such a way as to minimize district perimeters while having equal populations of districts, with no regard for racial composition or anything else. But that’ll never happen.

The Supremes have previously ruled that district maps can be tailored to allow for racial representation.

A third of the population may be blacks-— it there is no proof that those blacks are evenly spread around the state.

They could have a VERY HIGH population in one district & NOT MUCH in the other 5 districts.

We’ve got a constipational crisis going on with the District “judges” and the SCOTUS is more interested in gerrymandering the voting districts in Louisiana in order to turn the joint blue.

Every single district drawn up to give blacks more representation gives the democrats another sure permanent vot towards running the House of Representatives.

Making a district who’s only goal is to get a certain race elected is in itself “racist”. So this not only is racist, but also a way to ensure the democrats can more easily win the house.

Gerrymandering is ok if done for the correct groups.

Both sides say a lot is at stake in this case, not for just Louisiana but for voters everywhere.


What’s at stake is whether this helps MAGA or hurts MAGA. Many times, black districts hurt democrats because their voters get crammed into one district and that frees up other areas for non-D candidates.
