Louisiana Election Countdown: Voters head to the polls Saturday for a U.S. Senate primary and five constitutional amendments, with election officials warning about changes and some voters reporting ballot confusion—like one Westbank voter who says her ballot showed only three amendments instead of five. Redistricting Fight: St. Landry Parish leaders are pushing back hard on a new congressional map that splits the parish into three districts, arguing it dilutes their influence, while across the state the recall effort against Gov. Jeff Landry draws big lines in the heat. Abortion Ruling: The U.S. Supreme Court kept access to the abortion pill via mail and telehealth while Louisiana’s lawsuit against the FDA continues. Sports: LSU baseball got run-ruled by No. 20 Florida, while LSU softball opened NCAA regional play with an 8-0 mercy-rule win over Akron. Energy & Economy: Commonwealth LNG broke ground in Cameron Parish on a $13B export facility, and RV owners are bracing for higher Memorial Day travel costs as gas prices climb.
