The Louisiana Senate approves a new Congressional map that does NOT contain a second Black-majority Congressional district. Jeff Palermo has the story…:

CUT 02(33)      “…I’m Jeff Palermo.”

The House Governmental Affairs Committee approves a new state House map that keeps the number of majority-minority districts at 29. Opponents say the map is gerrymandered to prevent more blacks from being elected. Approved by a 13-to-4 vote, the map moves next to the House floor for debate and vote.

U.S. Senate candidate Gary Chambers knows how to get attention and online views. In his most recent campaign ad message, Chambers sets a rebel flag on fire while decrying inequities in voting rights, criminal justice and more. UL-M Political Science professor Joshua Stockley doesn’t see it improving Chambers’ chances at winning. Stockley says he’ll have to really pull out the stops…:

CUT 07(12)      “…in his case, incendiary.”

Doesn’t get much more incendiary than setting a flag on fire.

LSU poli-sci major Steven Privat wowed audiences watching the College Jeopardy quarter-finals. On Talk 107.3 in Baton Rouge Tuesday, Privat said being a contestant is a long process before you get behind the buzzer…:

CUT 10(12)      “…that long ago.”

The Jeopardy College Championship continues tonight at 7, on ABC TV.
