About 3,000,000 total voted in the 2024 presidential elections. To me this shows how vulnerable the Republican party really is. In 2024 presidential race only 60% of eligible voters in Louisiana voted. If the Louisiana Democratic Party could motivate some of the 40% that don't vote this seat could be in play. But they will probably move " to the middle " and get an ass kicking as usual.
