Do you know what happens in 2028 in that case? You have nearby Republican districts, Steve Scalise's, what is currently Julia Letlow's and will soon be somebody else's, and what is currently Cleo Fields and is about to be somebody else's, three Republican districts that will be diluted because they will have moved Democrats into those districts to un-racial gerrymander, what they say is a racial gerrymander, Louisiana's 2nd Congressional District.
