BATON ROUGE - Louisiana's newly proposed congressional map moves a step further with a few changes that could impact the capital area.

Early this morning, stakeholders were once again before state lawmakers, sharing their support or opposition for the proposed new congressional map.

"What y'all going to do here is already known. We know what y'all came here to do, that's not going to change. Y'all going to ignore all the stories that y'all have heard from people that are 90 years old that lived through Jim Crow. Y'all going to ignore everything y'all heard from children that's going to have to live through the trash that y'all going to continue to put out," Louisiana resident Marshan Camese said.

This comes a week after some of the very same people testified during the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee, over a map by state senator Jay Morris, which reduces the number of majority-Black districts in the state from 2 to 1.

"It's continuous, it's equal in population, it respects historical core districts, respects communities of interest, compact, and it doesn't racially gerrymander," Morris said.

But the map did not leave the House committee meeting without any changes. State Representative Dixon McMakin amended the map that makes several of the parishes that were split in the map, like Calcasieu and Grant, whole, but splits Pointe Coupee between District Six and District Five.

"I had to make a change before I felt comfortable putting my signature on it. So that was something that I had to get done," McMakin said.

The committee approved the map 10-7, with the vote going along party lines.

"This is not the will of the Louisiana people. I mean, look, they see this for clearly what it is. This is a racial gerrymander that's just hiding it under politics, and saying it's a partisan gerrymander," State Representative Edmond Jordan said.

The amended map would look like this if Louisiana Congress votes for it: 

The bill has already been approved by the state Senate, it now heads to the House Floor for debate.
