Prison Gerrymandering

Prison gerrymandering here in Louisiana – and across the country – distorts our democracy by inflating the political power of areas where prisons are located while disenfranchising the communities to which incarcerated people belong. I will advocate for federal legislation that mandates the counting of incarcerated individuals in their home districts for purposes of redistricting. This reform is essential to ensuring fair representation and the principle of “One Person, One Vote.”
