2020 Census and Redistricting Thread: Louisiana

[TML]

Note that 538's Atlas of Redistricting believes that the current map is a pro-Republican gerrymander, while a 4R-2D map (with no swing districts) would be the most pro-Democratic gerrymander, as well as the most proportionally partisan and the one with the most majority-minority districts (2). It also believes that it is possible to create two swing districts (one D-leaning and one R-leaning) by carving up New Orleans.

They also appear to be abolishing the famous jungle primary in favor of closed R/D primaries in March and a GE decided by a traditional plurality without a runoff.  Wow.

I was looking forward to an occasion where Senate control would officially be decided by a runoff in a Louisiana Senate race (even though I'm well aware of which party would be favored in such a scenario during the current political climate), so this development is somewhat unfortunate on that front.
