Governor Landry - the people on Louisiana do not want to pay an extra $90 Million for Elections. We have enough of those as is. And enough waste of money already. And we don't need to further disenfranchise voters.
"Critics of a closed primary, including Cassidy, said it’s likely to disenfranchise hundreds of thousands of people in Louisiana. More than 27% of the state’s registered voters — roughly 822,000 people — are not Republicans or Democrats. They can vote in Louisiana’s jungle primaries now but could be locked out of Democrat-only and Republican-only contests going forward."
Gov. Jeff Landry will push to close primary elections off from voters who aren’t registered as Democrats or Republicans.
