It's in Protestant northern LA and it's adjacent to the Mississppi river valley which has a larger black population. I guess the parish is distant enough from them to attract whites who don't want to live there.
I wonder the extent to which this also helps explain counties like Glascock in Georgia, which really stands out against its neighbors. I once emailed a local professor about it and he didn't have much insight.
I assume the fact that Glascock is 90% white in a majority black area must be the main reason why it is so Republican.
I guess. But in California, I noticed that the majority-white neighborhood in Santa Ana is largely Democratic. The largely white neighborhood in a largely Hispanic region votes Democratic for some reason. Imperial Beach, CA is the same too. Why are they the opposite of Glascock County, GA?
