(1,074 posts)"One more thing to keep in mind. Louisiana has a crazy system. They do not hold primaries; rather, they use Election Day itself to narrow the field. A grand total of 24 candidates across the political spectrum are on the ballot for this November. A winner can be declared only if one person exceeds 50% of this vote; otherwise, there will be a run-off election on December 10 between the top 2 finishers. If a Republican and a Democrat comprise the top two, we may not know who controls the Senate until December 10. (And the Dems better not be counting on this, it is almost certainly going to be a GOP win.)"
