In the wake of the Supreme Courts recent decision on gerrymandering, Louisianas governor suspended the states primary elections, even though tens of thousands of votes had already been cast.
Now he intends to toss those votes.
During a 60 Minutes interview Sunday, Gov. Jeff Landry (R) was pressed about what would happen to the roughly 45,000 ballots that were cast prior to the high courts decision.
This country has held elections during the Civil War, during two world wars, elections still went on, correspondent Cecilia Vega said.
Well have an election, and were actually gonna have an election on election day, Landry responded.
But voting was already happening, Vega said, cutting Landry off. As we sit here right now, more than 45,000 ballots have been returned. What happens to those?

(8,776 posts)1. What else would one expect from
a dyed in the wool MAGA and Trump sycophant who signed on to Ken Paxton's 2020 lawsuit against four other states in a bs attempt to overthrow Biden's election,
and who's since done everything he could to firmly plant his head even further up Trump's ass,
including begging Trump to send ICE to his state, and getting appointed by Trump as some token 'ambassador' to Greenland,
to which he immediately sparked a diplomatic row with the Dutch by suggesting it should become a state.
