Attorney General Jeff Landry, a rightwing Republican backed by Donald Trump, has won the Louisiana governor’s race, holding off a crowded field of candidates.
The win is a major victory for the Republican party as they reclaim the governor’s mansion for the first time in eight years. Landry will replace current governor John Bel Edwards, who was unable to seek re-election due to consecutive term limits.
Edwards is the only Democratic governor in the south.
That's interesting that they consider it that according to the census, I wonder why it meets the criteria.
Probably referring to the "Mason and Dixon line" that was coined during the Compromise of 1820 that signified the separation between slave and free. The line separates Pennsylvania and Maryland. Kentucky is under that line. Here's a archives page about it. https://web.archive.org/web/20180717185851/http://www1.udel.edu/johnmack/mason_dixon/
That's probably it, thanks. My school was lacking in geography and history, if that isn't already obvious, lol.
