They are hapless and trying to do it again


The next governor should be a 1 term Republican and salt the entire state to the ground. Do unpopular but necessary things like:
1. Eliminate/merge a number of 4 year schools
2. Create trade/tech schools, bring in businesses to partner with them if possible
3. Massive layoff of superfluous state employees
4. Rewrite the state constitution
5. True tort reform
6. Massive infrastructure improvements

I’d take 2 terms, but I know the medicine will be nasty for some, but it’s necessary to move the state forward. One of the reasons why I was so hopeful of vitter, he had no further aspiration and could have made unpopular decisions.

They rejected the 34k signatures from the batch delivered in the 5 days after the petition was delivered because that required the late signer to write to the registrar directly. The campaign dropping off 1000s of pages of petitions signed previous to the deadline didn’t count

Section B(2) of that statutory language allows a "custodian" (who can be anyone) of the signature to deliver it to the registrar. The voter does not have to personally deliver it. That Twitter user is reading the statute wrong.

None of those can be done by governor alone.

La Legislatures aren't giving up any of their cash cows to go along with it.

So apparently it had 67k signatures but only 27k were qualified electors, whatever that means


Or these signatures can only be counted to elect democrats in federal elections

The governor in this state is extremely powerful, he can’t do it alone, but I bet there are levers to making these “republicans” legislators behave like republicans.

How’d this fail? Was it completely unorganized?


I think it was the times picayune did a authentication check when the signatures were turned in. They found only 4% of signatures were not valid. Something doesn’t compute.

Was closer to 15%, but yeah 15% is considered pretty normal for recalls. Talking somewhere around 60% of signatures are invalid with these numbers.

It is impossible that that many and that high of a percentage of the signatures could be invalid. I am familiar with the procedures that were used to verify the signatures t the time of the signing. It was thorough. I don't buy this. No way.

If it is truly a filing error it would really underscore the issue with putting the responsibility on a common citizen to organize and execute a signature drive on this scale. Yet alone the potential for a bad actor/false flag to sabotage an effort by being the first filer and having such control.

I don’t know the answer but when you step back and look at it as a mechanism of redress this has serious issues

Fun fact: JBE defeated Eddie Rispone by a margin of 40,212.

Probably just a coincidence. Gotta be. Right?

If Rispone had a better campaign manager, he woulda had better results.

His extreme sucking up on Trump strategy was hilarious, borderline uncomfortable.
