    Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry (R) signed a bill Monday
    approving new Congressional maps that will create a
    second majority-Black district.

    The Louisiana state legislature approved the updated
    Congressional maps last week which will redraw the
    Sixth Congressional District to be state’s second
    majority-Black district. The district is currently
    represented by Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.). The state’s
    2nd Congressional District remained the other
    majority-Black district.

    It's a wonder to me that Louisiana, a state with such a large black population, had only
    one majority black district for so many decades.

    Look which party runs the state...

    Alabama (26% black, 1 in 7 districts black), Mississippi (38% black, 1 in 4 districts
    black) and Louisiana (33% black, 1 in 6 districts black).

    Republicans have gerrymandered themselves into more power all across
    the country than their numbers warrant.
