The polls close at 8 tonight, as Louisiana elects 5 of 6 congressional districts, decides numerous local races and issues and eight constitutional amendments. We also decide whether to send John Kennedy back to the U.S. Senate for 6 years, or pick one of three Democrat challengers. Pollster John Couvillon of Baton Rouge says Early Voting results tilt the race for any Republican…:

CUT 03  (06)        “…than Democrats.”

Nationally, Couvillon says he expects Republicans to add 30 seats in the House of Representatives. He expects the GOP to add two or three seats in the Senate.

Don’t forget to vote on those 8 constitutional amendments, too. Public Affairs Research Council president Steven Procopio says none are earth-shaking, but they are important and deserve a serious vote…:

CUT 08(05)      “…vote on.”

Today is the last day for UNO students to vote on whether they want their student fees increased in order to bring a football program to the Lakefront campus…:

CUT 02(31)      “…Palermo.”

A single ticket sold in Altadena, CA won the $2-Billion record-setting Powerball jackpot. A ticket bought here in Louisiana, in Tangipahoa Parish, scored a quick million dollars. Two other tickets sold in Louisiana won $50-k each.
