Gerrymandering has been in the news lately, with good reason. I happen to live in a Gerrymandered district where my congress-critter lives across the state from me and does not reflect my political persuasion.
It appears that the Supremes did something recently. Honestly, I'm not sure what they decided, but it evidently affects my district. Pair that decision against the very soon upcoming primary election, the first party primary to he held in this state in decades, and we have an opportunity for absolute chaos. We start early voting on Saturday, and governor Landry is considering postponing the election to redraw the congressional map.
From what I understand, Governor Landry is proposing that we suspend the congressional primary to give the state legislature a chance to redraw the map. The huge irony in this fever-dream is that the legislature could have redrawn themap at any time. Our past governor, John Bel (hack, spit) Edwads redrew the map during his term, specifically to give his long-time crony, Cleoo Fields, a safe congressional district. Cleo is the virtual poster-child for affirmative action, DEI, NAACP, and SPLC.
The one saving grace is that the US Senate primary will go forward. This is the first closed primary in the state in decades and it is our opportunity to send RINO Bill Cassidy into retirement. I look forward to doing that. Louisiana's early voting begins on Saturday.
