NO! THE GOVERNOR OF LOUISIANA DID *NOT* CANCEL ELECTIONS. HERE ARE THE FACTS AND TRUTH
Social propa..er.. I mean media, is abuzz with headlines like “Governor of Louisiana Cancels Elections!”. Not the facts, and not true! Here’s what really happened.
Remember how earlier this week the Supreme Court struck down a particular voting district? Remember how it said that particular district was *unconstitutional*?
Now, do you remember where that unconstitutional district was? In case you don’t, here’s a hint: The name of the case was ‘Louisiana v. Callais’.
That’s right. The Supreme Court said “Louisiana, the district in which you are about to hold primaries is unconstitutional.”
Now, regardless of which ‘side’ you are on, and how you feel about this week’s Supreme Court decision, it had the effect that Louisiana *has* to *redo* the district *before* it can hold the primaries there.
Think about it this way: if Louisiana *didn’t* take that step, and if those primaries went forward in an *unconstitutional* district, those primaries would be immediately voided by any court in the nation, because the district was *unconstitutional*.
So the Governor of Louisiana basically *had* to suspend the primaries until a new not-unconstitutional district can be redrawn, and that’s exactly what he did. He issued an emergency order (included for Notes from the Front members) *pausing*, NOT CANCELLING, but *pausing* (suspending) the Louisiana primaries until a new district map can be drawn.
Was this exactly what they were waiting and hoping for?
Probably.
Does this mean now they are going to draw the district of their dreams?
Maybe.
Is the new district going to be bad for some people?
Likely.
Does this also mean that there will be a shortened cycle before those primaries are held in Louisiana and that could *disadvantage* some of the candidates in this oh-so-red state?
Quite possibly.
But that is not what I’m addressing here. Here I am addressing the sensationalized, sky-is-falling headlines that the Governor of Louisiana “cancelled” elections. He did not, and he cannot.
Remember, the sky is not falling, the sky just is.

P.S. If you actually read all the way to the bottom please leave a comment that includes the word “sharpie”. It will show me that my efforts aren’t in vain and that people actually *do* read these things, and it will drive those who just skim crazy wondering why everyone is talking about sharpies! ;~) P.P.S. I just know that some smart*** is going to point out to me that “sharpie” is a brand name and so should always be spelled “Sharpie”. Hold your tongue and watch what you say to this anti-spam attorney (see what I did there? :~) )
