The politics of Louisiana involve political parties,laws and the state constitution,and the many other groups that influence the governance of the state. The state was a one-party Deep South state dominated by the Democratic Party from the end of Reconstruction to the 1960s,forming the backbone of the "Solid South." This was due to the near-total disenfranchisement of the state's large African-American population during this time,who mostly voted Republican. The Civil Rights era turned the state into a competitive one on the federal level,as it voted for the nationwide winner in every election between 1972 and 2004. It remained Democratic on the state and local level until the turn of the 21st century,allowing Republicans to win control of the state legislature and every statewide office in 2011.
