Louisiana early voters face confusion over delayed House primaries
8 articles · Updated · The New York Times · May 2
On Saturday, the first day of early voting, sites posted bold cancellation notices saying House primary votes would not be counted, including at Baton Rouge City Hall.
The disruption followed the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Louisiana's congressional map, after which Governor Jeff Landry delayed House primaries while keeping other May 16 contests on schedule.
The governor's directive is facing legal challenges, and voters voiced concern that uncertainty over which races remain valid could undermine confidence at the ballot box.
With its primary canceled, how will Louisiana redraw its electoral map in time for the general election?
