The unraveling was not abrupt. The Democratic margin in Louisiana 33rd State Senate District peaked at ninety-six points in 1916; it narrowed steadily over the late twentieth century. The 2000 election delivered the district to the Republican party for the first time in many years, by a margin of twenty points. By 2024, the margin had settled into deep Republican territory.
