Today is the LA jungle primary. The top ballot item is the Governors race. Incumbent Edwards (D) can be forced into a runoff election if he cant get over 50% of the vote total. LA republicans, go vote for Abraham or Rispone if you havent early voted already. Even if you are undecided between the two Rs, please vote for one anyway to force a runoff.
Thanks so much for POTUS Trump, VP Pence, and DT Jr coming to LA to rally GOP voters.
The polls are open from 7AM till 8PM.
Election vote counts will start coming in after 8PM and posted on the LA SoS website:

With so much at stake the Republicans should settle on one candidate so not to split the vote.
Know any good cat herders?

We’re pretty good at it after rounding up our six, including one feral (butterfly net involved), to put in cages when we moved.
But this primary is beyond that, I think. WHY are the two GOPs running separately. They should’ve flipped a coin and decided on only one. Splitting the vote is too dangerous.
If enough people vote for EITHER Republican, then whichever Repub gets the most votes will face the Dem in November. Otherwise, if the Dem gets 50%+ of the vote, then he wins now.
OK Louisiana. This is your chance to vote on impeachment.
If the 2 of them together get 51% of the vote the Dem loses!! The incumbent Gov has to get 50% to win!!!
I like it. I think it’ll work out for the GOP in LA. Trump’s rally last night didn’t hurt at all.
Not the Louisiana way, Weather looks to be unpredictable , with wind and rain in S La.
Are the GOP state party apparatchiks down there unipartying Never Trumpers with an almighty mad-on for Donaldus Maximus?
If so, that explains a lot.

“...Not the Louisiana way, Weather looks to be unpredictable with wind and rain in S La.....”
Hmmm...I dunno if that will be a factor today.
I know a lot of those old Cajun boys over there on the other side of the Sabine. Some of em are my shooting range buds. Right about now, they’d face a full-blown hurricane to get to the polls. They’re as fed up with the RAT commie BS as the rest of us. Today’s vote will be interesting.
Umm.... no.
If no candidate gets 50% of the vote by himself then the top 2 regardless of party advance to the runoff.
In the past, the Louisiana “jungle” primaries were great entertainment. Frequently, there were a dozen or more gubernatorial candidates. It was common for candidates for a particular office to pay other people to run for that office and criticize other candidates but remain silent about the one who paid them. One of the most famous of these “paid” candidates was a guy named Puggy Moity. Over the years he ran for numerous state offices, some more than once. I think it was 1971 when there were 15 or so candidates in the governors race and Puggy buy 30 minute spots on all of the local stations...I still never figures who was paying him to run that year...it seems he slammed every candidate.
Here is a link to an article re Puggy Moity: https://www.conservapedia.com/Warren_%22Puggy%22_Moity
Here’s a YouTube of Puggy (audio with pic): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSMjMkMCj3A
Six candidates on the governor ballot
2- democrats
3- republicans
1- independent

Bad weather generally depresses Dem vote totals. I suppose it is voter suppression.

I was (pleasantly) surprised to see Dem Edwards get a primary challenge by a fellow Dem. Hope it helps keep Edwards below 50%!
