11. Louisiana has problems, just look at their latest Congressional District map

Mon May 18, 2026, 11:08 AM

Yesterday

Mike Johnson's district #4 - that's shown in red on this map - why is the green #6 District cutting right through the center of his 4th District? I'm sure it has to do with the high concentration of Black voters in certain areas, and Johnson decided he'd rather not represent them.

The incumbent holds onto power, and at the same time excludes the voters he prefers not to represent. This is how gerrymandering works.... the incumbent has his thumb on the scale to make sure he gets re-elected. The Black candidates won't get a chance because their numbers are diluted everywhere except Districts 2 and 6.
