Louisiana Republicans confront voter frustration after midterm losses

(The Center Square) — Louisiana Republicans are questioning President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict with Iran, immigration enforcement and the rising cost of living after a Democratic midterm wave nearly cost the GOP a U.S. Senate seat in one of the country’s most reliably Republican states.

Louisiana narrowly avoided a similar upset. Republican Julia Letlow defeated Democrat Jamie Davis by approximately 26,000 votes, a strikingly close result in a state Trump carried by nearly 22 percentage points two years earlier. Although Republicans retained Louisiana’s U.S. Senate seat, two congressional races remain undecided. Republicans Gabe Firment and Blake Miguez will compete in December runoffs in the 5th and 6th Congressional Districts, respectively. The Republican Party has already endorsed both,

Louisiana Amendment 1, allowing a one-time property tax exemption for surviving military spouses, passes by a vast margin

The constitutional amendment that passed by the most overwhelming margin was Amendment 1.

Louisiana Veterans Affairs Secretary Charlton Meginley says whereas before it made no financial sense for survivors to downsize after the deaths of their veteran spouses, it now gives them a lot more flexibility.

Across the South, Voters Turned Anger Into a ‘Blacklash’

MIAMI — As the raindrops eased on the evening of Election Day, a fellow voter helped to lift Niecy Rahming out of her daughter’s car and into her wheelchair. Rahming, 95, made it to the polling station with 10 minutes to spare, casting her vote for what she hoped would be Florida’s first Black senator, state Rep. Angie Nixon. A native Floridian and longtime Miami Gardens resident, Rahming has lived long enough to experience Jim Crow and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. But that evening, her focus was on the economy.
