Louisiana voters reject all five amendments as Senate runoffs loom
Louisiana voters on May 16 rejected all five state constitutional amendments proposed by Gov. Jeff Landry, while incumbent Sen. Bill Cassidy was knocked out in the GOP primary. The top Republicans, Julia Letlow and John Fleming, advance to a June 27 runoff for Cassidy’s seat, and Democrats Jamie Davis and Nick Albares move to a June 27 runoff for the party’s Senate nomination. Several other races also head to runoffs, with voters reporting widespread confusion about the process and the results.
