Louisiana Gov. Defends Scrapping 45,000 Ballots During Redistricting
Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry defended halting the congressional primaries to redraw maps and discarding about 45,000 ballots, saying those ballots are discarded and those voters will vote again in November; his remarks surfaced in a court filing as Democrats challenge the redraw tied to the Supreme Court’s Callais v. Louisiana decision, framing it within ongoing debates over gerrymandering and voting rights.
