LA SENATE RACE – Louisiana Republican U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy spent his last day of campaigning ahead of Election Day in hurricane-damaged southeast Louisiana. He was trying to draw focus to a low-key Senate race overshadowed by the presidential competition, months of Gulf Coast storms and a global pandemic. Cassidy’s best-funded Democratic competitor is Shreveport Mayor Adrian Perkins. Perkins sought support in Acadiana on Monday while the GOP incumbent held a series of meet-and-greets with voters. Cassidy faces 14 opponents on the ballot. But he hopes to receive more than 50% of the vote in Tuesday’s Senate primary to win a second term without a Dec. 5 runoff. One million Louisiana voters cast their ballots early this year, Louisiana polls opened at 6am this morning and will close at 8pm.
