If you need to find your polling location, you can find information by parish or by voter on the Louisiana SOS lookup page.
Getting out the vote is more important than ever. Dem Governor John Bel Ewards holds a slim lead over Trumper Eddie Rispone, 48% to 46%.
Trump held a rally in Louisiana yesterday, the second in two weeks.
The GOP are encouraging their own voters to use the free ride vouchers and even trying to imply that they’re behind the offer. Here’s an example from local news org KLFY.
And according to right-wing site The Hayride, the GOP has emailed the free ride info to 100,000 people. They’re pushing the message “not just Democrats and not just black people … they don’t have a choice but to give you a ride.”
So let’s help make sure Democrats and black voters see the message, not just Republicans!
