2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Louisiana

[RBH]

here's my "what if the judges are partisan hacks who decide to not create a 2nd VRA district but create a cleaner looking map" map



District data

LA1: 67% White, 69-29 R
LA2: 71% Minority/60% Black, 77-20 D
LA3: 67% White, 71-27 R
LA4: 61% White, 64-34 R
LA5: 61% White, 67-31 R
LA6: 65% White, 65-33 R

The statewide partisan lean is 60-38 R and 58% White on DRA.

Edit: here's the map with Parish lines if it makes any difference

as no doubt mentioned in other parts of the forum, the Supreme Court says "use the 2024 map for at least 2024" without saying much about using it in 2026

This is what a nonpartisan map might look like if a court orders one to be drawn.

there is actually a way for your first district to be contiguous (via water) but I'll note that very white Ward 9-45 could probably land outside of CD2 if you need a way for CD1 to look more contiguous
