Over several cycles in recent decades, Louisiana elected new members of its congressional delegation in December, a month after all other states had finished voting. That is likely to happen again this year. #lagov #lalege #lapolitics

How will recent #LaLege/#LaGov maneuvers impact Election Day turnout? While cancelled House races & a new closed primary may alter numbers a bit, early voting & voter sentiment suggest the proposed constitutional amendments may get hit the hardest. (Turnout forecast: btwn 25-30%.) Lots of voices in this one. More for LaPolitics/@StateAffairsLA subscribers here: pro.stateaffairs.com/la/news…

While Democrats are outperforming expectations during this closed primary's early voting period, questions linger about how exactly Louisiana's cancellation of U.S. House races might impact overall Election Day turnout. #lagov #lalege #lapolitics

As Louisiana officials work to promote economic growth, the question of how to provide enough power for the biggest users, while keeping costs down for everyone else, is going to keep coming up. #lagov #lalege
