As early voting begins today, a poll of 500 likely Republican primary voters shows a very close race for Senate. Jeff Palermo has the story.

Meantime, several lawsuits seeking to restore the May 16th election have now been filed. These are challenges to Governor Jeff Landry’s decision to suspend the congressional races, after a U.S. Supreme Court decision declaring those districts unconstitutional. Plaintiffs say that’s a decision for the legislature, not the governor.

In just one night, the Louisiana Millionaires Club added 11 new members. That’s because in Wednesday night’s Powerball drawing, a whopping 11 tickets were million-dollar winners. Chrislyn Maher (“mayor”) with the Louisiana Lottery says it’s an exciting occasion.
Cut 9 (05) “…just being luck.”
Because of the rain, just a couple of Louisiana college baseball teams played last night. Louisiana Tech fell to Dallas Baptist four to one. Declan Dahl suffered the loss for the Bulldogs, despite striking out nine over seven innings. He gave up a two-run homer in the second inning and the Bulldogs could only muster five hits.
Also last night…Charlotte blanked Tulane ten to nothing.
LSU will start its series against South Carolina at 1 PM today and then play game two at 6:30. LSU starting pitcher Casan Evans has been ruled out. It’s the second weekend in a row, he will not pitch after experiencing arm discomfort last weekend in Starkville.
