With so much at stake the Republicans should settle on one candidate so not to split the vote.

OK Louisiana. This is your chance to vote on impeachment.

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's the story from thegreenpapers.com:

In this Open Primary, all candidates from all parties appear on a single ballot. If no candidate receives a majority (50% of the vote plus 1), a runoff (scheduled for Saturday 16 November 2019) is to be held between the top two vote-getters, even if they be from the same party.

Candidates can withdraw until poll closing time on election day. Should a candidate withdraw after the ballots are printed, votes cast for that candidate are not counted. Louisiana does not permit write-ins.
