I understand that the Louisiana Supreme Court will be issuing its ruling on the St. George case tomorrow - what's the expected outcome? And if they overturn the lower courts, what has to happen next before St. George can incorporate?

My expectation is that it will be a long and overly complicated decision because of how badly the district court and appeals court fricked up.

One court basically said that the entire election was invalid because putting a URL on the petition to the plan of government isn’t putting the plan of government on the petition.


I believe another argued that the impact on BR by StG incorporating means that it should be blocked.



State SC has to figure out a way to unfrick this mess in the easiest way possible.

My guess is that they say that the petition was valid, therefore the vote is valid, but drop Lamont Cole from the case due to lack of standing, therefore StG incorporates due to the case dissolving.


That gets to the correct verdict without litigating a lot of major issues caused by how this was handled, which probably needs to be fricked up by the legislature and not the courts.

How does LASC release these rulings? Media wise?

This has been ongoing for more than 6 years. The Citizens voted for it in a Legal election.

The mayorette is trying to nullify a legal election.

This is election interference and what about ‘ Democracy’ ?

Was it just a Mandella Effect thing but I could have sworn St George was already ruled in favor of and people were celebrating here a while back. Must have been when the LA Supreme Court took the case. The people voted 5 years ago and our government has been trying to throw that vote in the trash and ever since.

But Trump is going to destroy democracy.

Listening to the arguments presented to the LSC, I heard a lot of questions from the justices that were never asked by the lower courts, but were issues that were screamed in the loudest voices by those who saw through the BS being thrown up by the opposition to SG and the C-P. The majority of justices seem to agree that the C-P tried to cancel the results of a legitimate election and overrule the will of the people. I predict that SG will be allowed to incorporate (but stranger things have happened - It is Louisiana politics after all)

Everyone on all sides will be angry. Mostly, as some others have pointed out, because everyone involved, the StG organizers, the city-parish, the individual plaintiffs like Broome, the district court, and the circuit court have all fricked the whole situation up so badly.

If they go against St. George, they set up a strange precedent for elections going forward where the lower vote total for everything can now sue for not liking the result - not that it was counted wrong, just because it was not what they wanted.
