Louisiana vs South Carolina would've been a close call
Louisiana is far more racially polarized than South Carolina, the only exception being the immediate downtown of New Orleans.
You talk a big talk. Louisiana has elected many more Democrats to statewide office, as of late.
Yes, but the question was about social liberalism. The Dem governor and ~half of the Dems in the state legislature in Louisiana are 100% pro-life. There weren't enough 100% pro-life Republicans in South Carolina to pass a total abortion ban with a massive trifecta.
