FIGHTING FOR THE MINORITY VOTE
Challenging the New Redistricting Lines in New Orleans

Could what's happening in New Orleans be a blueprint for fast-growing minority communities in other suburbs and cities across the country?
What: the 2010 Census reveals about the growing ethnic minority vote in America's suburbs
How: redistricting could increase or diminish minority voting power
Why: New Orleans is waging a "War of Maps"
