Curious if you know any info about the local races that maybe invovled. Local races
usually mean a larger turnout than if none are on the ballot.

Are there many on the ballots across the state? Or, is this runoff basically a
governor race runoff?

It is a runoff for three statewide offices because no one received 50% plus one vote in the primary. Statewide we are voting for governor, lt. governor and attorney general. There are scores of local elections also in runoffs through out the state with local amendments as well.

Around Louisiana more than 150 races are in the election, including competitions for state legislative seats, two positions on the state education board and municipal government jobs. Also, 116 local propositions are up for consideration...
