Harder state for Democrats?

Arkansas, more blacks in Louisiana.

Yeah but they don't vote in required numbers to make the difference.

Louisiana has the most solid Democratic base, but I also feel like it's become really inelastic and it's going to be really hard for a Democrat to reach 50%. I feel like Arkansas is still more open to "the right kind" of Democrat.

My reason to choose Louisiana is that I think both states are de facto impossible to win for the Democrats in a statewide election, but since Louisiana has a higher floor Arkansas must be considered "harder".

Looking forward to an answer from someone in the know. Miles may be the best bid for a qualified evaluation.

Arkansas. Louisiana Dems are guaranteed 40% of the vote statewide, Arkansas can actually get more Republican.

It's worth mentioning that the "right kind of Democrat" doesn't exist anymore.

Probably Arkansas now.
