Crowded LA Senate Race Could Force Runoff

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.  To find your voting precinct in Louisiana, google: GEAUX-VOTE-LOUISIANA
