Louisiana Get-Out-The-Vote Maps

FairVote2020 has developed an interactive map showing turnout rates for  African-American voters in Louisiana. The map shows African American turnout rates in the 2000 presidential contest. Over 400,000 voting age African Americans in Louisiana did not vote in the November 2000 election.

You can zoom in on the map to view precinct-level turnout rates for 50 of the 64 parishes, where we were able to match political data to geographic precinct boundaries.

Other maps can be reached by clicking on "Compare Maps" to the left.  These additional maps include census data on race, ethnicity and income.

To maximize the viewable area, toggle off the history folder.  Map links can be e-mailed or bookmarked for future reference. Use the arrow buttons on your browser to compare previously viewed maps. Try Windows NetMeeting for group sessions. Click the HELP icon for additional assistance.
