Politics of Louisiana
From Wikipedia
The Politics of Louisiana are known for its entrenched corruption and populism. The State has leaned towards Republican control since the civil war, and has reliably supported populist candidates of all stripes, including Donald Trump, Huey Long, Earl Long, David Duke, and George Wallace. Other distinct features of Louisiana's politics include its calcified aristocracy, use of the Napoleonic Code (instead of English Common Law, like the rest of the U.S.), history of white supremacy, and the divide between Catholics in the south and Evangelical Protestants in the north.
Republicans hold six of the seven U.S. Representative seats from Louisiana. The party switch of Attorney General Buddy Caldwell caused the Republican party to control every statewide office.
Louisiana was long known for its toleration of corruption in government. Bill Dodd, former lieutenant governor and education superintendent, in his book Peapatch Politics: The Earl Long Era in Louisiana Politics describes corruption as "a way of life, inherited, and made quasi-respectable and legal by the French freebooters who founded, operated, and left us as the governmental blueprint that is still Louisiana's constitutional and civil law." Dodd notes furthermore that some attribute the corruption to "outlaws, gamblers, and fortune hunters who came off the mountains and down the Mississippi River to add their flavor to the Louisiana pot. A sizable minority thinks corruption was made worse by slavery and the granting of full civil rights and privileges to blacks before these heretofore de facto slaves could or would assume and fulfill their personal and legal responsibilities.
