When Michael McClanahan was growing up, his grandmother would tell him stories about what it was like to vote during the pre-Civil Rights era in their small town in northwest Louisiana.
Prior to the 1950s, nearly 80% of white adults in the 11 states of the former Confederacy identified as Democrats, compared to only about 40% of white adults in other parts of the country.
However, over time, white Southerners began to leave the Democratic Party and join the Republican Party, with the percentage of white Southerners identifying as Democrats dropping to around 30% by the early 2000s.
This shift is attributed primarily to "racially conservative" attitudes among white Southerners, rather than just the Democratic Party's support for civil rights legislation in the 1960s.

"and the Judge says Sure, sounds like a great idea, but what about the jury?"
Imaginative.
In reality criminal proceedings go before a jury almost never.
Out of every 100 criminal filings in Florida, only three will actually go to trial. In the past year, 96.7% of trial cases in Florida were settled before going to trial " generally through a plea deal, though cases are sometimes also dismissed or transferred.
