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.
Pineville? I lived across from the cemetery in 75. It was a nice little place to live. Very quiet. I had to pull off the road to Laff when we were heading out for Arkansas. A town called Dry Prong? Sounds like a sexual assault weapon. Then the sign for the Louisiana Spastic School just about put me in the ditch laughing. Who knew they had to teach them to be that way?
ReplyDeleteSomehow I'm betting That sign is gone.
Interesting...
ReplyDeleteOur results down here is opposite. Last I heard, about 20% of total vote last election have already early voted (myself included), a big uptick of nearly doubled. One week from today is the Big Show.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the City of Pineville, early voting hit an all time high.
ReplyDeleteSome one is lying.
