Well half the population isn't sober enough to vote, and out of those who are, even most of the conservatives there vote Democrat because of unions and all the money funneled to union members via the rampant corruption. When you're making bank from the grift, you vote for the grifters.
I hope you're correct. But having had many discussions with contractors and other tradesmen in Caddo Parrish, I met a lot of people who appeared to hold conservative values but voted Democrat consistently. And were quite open that it was over the union support.
Unions accomplished good things in the past, but these days they create a parasitic mindset. It's also why we see this horror stories about teachers. There are plenty of great teachers. But the NEA attracts and empowers the crazed leeches, so that's what we hear about. I've sat in on some member discussions regarding policy and negotiation, and it'll make your skin crawl.
Well, you may be right about the union voting. I was in a union in California & they really pushed the D candidates & used our dues $ for campaign contributions to the D’s every time. I always voted R or Libertarian, but I was an outlier LOL.
Louisiana is so corrupt that, even when we do get a republican in there, it’s some establishment stooge. I wanted to believe that Kennedy is legit, but he seems more & more like he’s just a bunch of hot air meant to entertain us. No elections are fair here regardless of the Union influence.

I disagree. The voting is highly rigged here.
