“in 1991, 60 % of the whites in Louisiana voted for him. Made me not want to go there for quite some time.”

When I see the people white New Yorkers vote for in every election, it makes me not want to go there for quite some time.

Your 61% number is wrong, see below. Also I found amusing the following bumper sticker that was on many cars in Louisiana at the time David Duke was running against convicted Democrat felon Edwin Edwards, it was as follows:VOTE FOR THE CROOK, IT IS IMPORTANT! Most of those bumper stickers were on the cars of Republicans.

Despite repudiation by the Republican Party,[65] Duke ran for governor of Louisiana in 1991. In the primary, Duke finished second to former governor Edwin W. Edwards in votes; thus, he faced Edwards in a runoff. In the initial round, Duke received 32 percent of the vote. Incumbent Governor Buddy Roemer, who had switched from the Democratic to Republican parties during his term, came in third with 27 percent of the vote. Duke effectively killed Roemer's bid for re-election. While Duke had a sizable core constituency of devoted supporters, many voted for him as a "protest vote" to register dissatisfaction with Louisiana's establishment politicians. During the campaign, Duke said he was the spokesman for the "white majority"[66] and, according to the New York Times, "equated the extermination of Jews in Nazi Germany with affirmative action programs in the United States."[67]

I will take any of the people New York has put into high office over David Duke.

Who would you have voted against in New York in order to get Duke into office?
