Saturday is Election Day in Louisiana
[Associated Press]
Saturday is election day in Louisiana. Statewide voters will decide whether to add to the Louisiana constitution that would define legal marriage here as the union of one man/one woman. Proponents call it the "Marriage Protection Amendment." Others call it the "Gay Marriage Ban."
Other issues on the ballot in Southwest Louisiana include a hotly contested race for Third Circuit Court of Appeal. State District Judge David Painter is challenging incumbent Judge Billie Woodard. Another high profile race is the competition for Ward 3 Lake Charles City Marshal. Six candidates are vying for that post. If no one gets more than half the vote the two top contenders will be thrust into a runoff Nov. Secretary of State Fox McKeithen says voters who find their polling places flooded because of Hurricane Ivan may be directed elsewhere, primarily those who normally vote in Grand Isle or in Plaquemines and St. Bernard parishes, which sustained the worse parts of the storm. McKeithen says preparations have been made to haul voting machines to dry ground if necessary.
