    This was done post the gutting of voting rights by the Supreme Court.

    They’re no longer valid, because Louisiana now has the ability to racially gerrymander away black majority districts that were previously protected by law.

    So these votes were cast in a world where racially based gerrymandering was illegal, but now that it’s not, Louisiana can KKK all over the districts, which is what they have done.

    You’re saying, and have repeated it over and over, that race based gerrymandering doesn’t matter. That it’s actually good that Louisiana is now legally able to disenfranchise black voters through gerrymandering.

    More than that, you’re saying that it’s okay to start race-based gerrymandering in the middle of an election, and in doing so, invalidate votes already cast, because it serves white supremacy and the Republican party.

    And because I’m sure you will claim you’re not saying that, let me just get ahead of you by saying yes, yes you are, and you’ve made at least three comments in here saying how this is not a big deal, and that it’s actually good.

      Nope.

      The decision is completely different.

      What would be worse, is if they said those 45k already voted and counting them under the new map even if that meant the candidates that were voted for by African Americans in those two districts obviously can’t run in every district that their voters are now in…

      That would be bad.

      I’m not sure why you’re so upset about this instead of waiting to see if there was something you were missing.

      Does it make sense now?

      Because if you still have questions and ask them the same way, Im probably just going to never attempt to help you again

        Sometimes it’s hard to tell if someone is speaking in bad faith, or is just a moron.

        This is one of those times.

          Just the 30+ point difference…

          But you’ll have to find someone else to answer your questions now, best of luck
