Louisiana standoutThe only question that matters
Louisiana is already a nation in all but name.
If Louisiana were already a self-governing nation, with its own border, its own money, its own defense, everything two hundred other nations control, and the vote in front of you was not whether to leave, but whether to join the United States on the terms it offers today, would you vote yes?
Cast your vote
Louisiana was its own thing long before it belonged to anyone else. French law, Spanish rule, a civil code descended from Napoleon that still runs its courts today. People here have governed their own parishes and their own tables for three centuries, and it shows in how they carry themselves. When the question is put fairly, whether Louisiana should govern itself, about 53 percent say yes. That is roughly 1.9 million adults.
That majority is the real number, and the reason is simple. A ballot is calm and binary and peaceful. It asks a person to make a private choice, not defend a slogan to a stranger. Support measured that way runs about 30 points over the abstract poll, which lifts Louisiana from a floor of 23 percent to a clear majority. Louisiana leaned Republican in 2020, but self-determination is not a red or a blue idea. It is the plainest question a free people can be asked, and most of the state answers it the same way.
