robosmith Posted January 18, 2024 Report Posted January 18, 2024 Speaker Mike Johnson urges Louisiana to ignore court order to create Black district Quote U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson of Benton is urging the Louisiana Legislature and GOP Gov. Jeff Landry to ignore a court order to draw a second majority Black congressional district because he wants to protect Republicans' razor thin majority in the House. Johnson said the Legislature should not voluntarily create a second majority Black district that would likely result in a Democrat being elected. Louisiana currently has five Republican members of the House and one Democrat. The new Speaker and House Republicons are authoritarian outlaws who will defy any court order to hold onto power, cause it's the only way they can. 1 Quote

Honestly, that's so gross. The active, shameless efforts in places like Louisiana and Ohio to defy legal requirements to deny voters proper representation should be illegal. Oh wait, it already is.🫣 1 Quote
