Until the early 1950s, when b****s were still disenfranchised, no Republican won a single e*******l v**e in any Louisiana p**********l e******n. But in 1956, the state supported national hero and Republican p**********l candidate General Dwight David Eisenhower, who was admired for his leadership in World War II. His was the first of nine Republican p**********l victories in the state among the 14 p**********l campaigns from 1956 to 2008 inclusive.

Since the 1990s, Louisiana's U.S. House delegation has overall had a Republican tilt, and the number of Republicans elected to both houses of the Louisiana legislature has increased incrementally. As of 2009, Republicans had not had the majority in either the Louisiana House or state Senate since the Reconstruction era. The first Republicans elected to the state house in Louisiana in the 20th century were Morley A. Hudson and Taylor W. O'Hearn in 1964, the year that the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed. The next year the V****g Rights Act of 1965 was passed, ensuring that African Americans would again be able to exercise their constitutional right to v**e in Louisiana and other states. The first Republican elected to the State Senate in Louisiana in the 20th century was Edwards Barham in 1975.

The below mentioned actions took place quite a while after 1968. Missed another Bill.

"Wallace won Alabama’s governorship again in 1970, but in 1972, while campaigning for the Democratic p**********l nomination, he was wounded and left permanently paralyzed below the waist in an assassination attempt on May 15, 1972, at Laurel, Maryland. He was reelected to the governorship in 1974, and he again campaigned for the Democratic p**********l nomination in 1976.

Though a segregationist during this period, Wallace could more accurately be termed a populist who seized on the issues that appealed to the majority of his white constituents.

Sounds more like a chump supporter rather than a democrat.

Bill 45

You get it right about Wallace, thank you.
