I mean that’s the logical next step.


Okay, and who has the legal authority to call that election?

Irrelevant. The State is using decades-old constitutional language to circumvent voters and invalidate the outcome of a legitimate election.

I’m not familiar with state and local laws around elections.

How was Chelsey Napoleon selected? Voting or appointment?


She was elected to Civil Clerk of Court and Calvin Duncan was elected to Criminal Clerk of Court.

They merged offices with the civil COC that has similar duties, who was also elected. This isn't "circumventing voters" it's making our government more efficient. It's funny watching you fail in this thread.

No one thinks you’re the smartest cookie in the jar but damn you’ve really made yourself look dumber and even more intellectually dishonest than in the past which is hard to do.

I’m wondering what role anyone in New Orleans has in even voting for this office. No one will answer why this position is not an appointed office.

You’re being obtuse now. This is a one time situation because New Orleans had a terrible setup and the offices needed to be combined.

I’ve been telling you the whole thread to stop painting this as some existential un-democratic encroachment and just say that you don’t like that the State did it this way.

ETA: Because you know what? I’d probably agree that the cleaner way was to consolidate the offices either prior to this election, or after the next one. It’s easier and resolves your alleged issue with it. But the faux outrage puts me in Jeff’s corner

So we have a Civil Clerk of Court that also performs the duties the Criminal Clerk of Court but no Criminal Clerk of Court. Just the Civil Clerk

Shouldn’t you learn these before saying something must be done ? If the law says otherwise maybe do something to get them changed. You can’t just stamp your feet and demand a different outcome little girl.

She and those who think like her are all in on disenfranchisement of black people from now until November. This is something that Democrats in Orleans Parish thinks has traction, but it doesn’t outside of Reddit.

And now those positions are combined into one, so she was elected and the voters did have a say.

To highlight the Governor’s interference in local democratic governance.

Did you really believe I made an argument about who had the authority to call an election?

You’re arguing that the State should be able to invalidate the outcomes of elections as long as it possesses the technical authority to do so. I’m not pretending to misunderstand your point. Why are you pretending to misunderstand mine?

So disagreeing with you is mob mentality, despite you not knowing what the law is, nor what the clerk of court actually does?

No one invalidated any election. The position was abolished. Everyone knew before the election that the position was going to be abolished. Duncan was only a candidate because the position was going to be abolished and he/people like you wanted to create this stupid disenfranchisement narrative. It was entirely calculated.
