Early Voting

 Running my errand this morning, I drove past our polling spot in Pineville and noticed that they were fairly busy. When I got back home, I checked a statewide news site and found this article.  Early vote totals are low?  What is up with that?

BATON ROUGE — Early voting numbers show a decrease in voter turnout in Louisiana as compared to the 2020 election, with fewer Black voters heading to the polls ahead of Nov. 5.

Well, ain't that a kick in the pants? Black turnout is low?  Maybe they are waiting for November 5th? Interesting.  There are some down-ballot races, Congressional seats, that could benefit from a large black turnout.

We shall see.
