Yet La votes for Democrats.

Many do, but La. voted to reelect President Trump, they voted in a majority Republican legislature (House & Senate), but some how they also voted in a Democrat Governor.

As in the majority of the states that are blue, the majority of the landscape is red, until you come to the bigger cities. I suspect much of the larger cities play games a little closer to the vest than what the Democrats pulled in the presidential election a year later, but those games allow them to win the Governorship by close margins. The 2019 election had John Bel Edwards win by just over 40,000 votes, 774,498(D) to 734,286(R) - Total votes: 1,508,784.

I have since requested a petition, signed it and sent it in. I told my wife to ask people she knows if they realize a recall petition exists to recall John Bel Edwards, as she knows many more people than I, and hopefully it will spread through to a large enough crowd to get the necessary signatures. But I agree, whomever started this recall petition should have secured backing to advertise the fact much better than it has been.

Had it not been for this post, I would not have known about it. Because this post triggered me to see if a recall was even allowed. Low & behold I found out there was already a recall petitioned.

Very Good! To get stuff done it almost always takes personal involvement.

Look at Newsome in California. Even the communists are getting tired of him so the petition for recall was met all in a couple of months. For a long time it was not going anywhere. People just have to realize that they are "We the People" and do something about it.

Most of the time we hear, " Somebody ought to do something!" That "somebody" is us. One person can go down to WalMart with some recall forms for one day and get hundreds of signatures. Even just a few hours can get lots done.
