Nice project. Those black states (particularly in the Delta) are very intense on the map, though.

Yeah, I shouldn't have used black on that state. If you notice, I made a yellow outline where DeSoto, MS should be because you can't recolor the counties once they're black. Hopefully we can still know what counties are in it though.

I went in and fixed the black counties/parishes:

The new Louisiana state is more Democratic than I was expecting

It looks like taking in the delta in southern AR/west MS, plus Jackson, more than cancelled out losing Shreveport.

^ Ah, yep. The total population is probably less white, but the voting age breakdown for it in DRA is 55% white, 37% black.
