Email from Louisiana Democrats If this is allowed to succeed, MAGA now has an insidious playbook. Wait until mail-in ballots are already distributed. Wait until early voting begins. Then challenge districts as unconstitutional and John, The Louisiana Democratic Party made a difficult decision yesterday. If you haven't seen yet, after the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act, our MAGA governor declared a State of Emergency so he could cancel our Congressional elections and gerrymander the state such that no Black Democrat would have a chance of being elected in 2026. The result was chaos. Ballots have already gone out and voters have no idea what's going on. That's why we made the difficult decision to launch a massive voter information campaign. Voters need to know: The suspension of elections under the “state of emergency” declaration currently only applies to the U.S. Congressional races in all 6 congressional districts. That there is still an election happening on May 16th for US Senate, Board of Elementary and Secondary Education, Public Service Commission, and five proposed constitutional amendments Not to throw away their absentee ballot And at the same time, we are about to make a heavy investment in the legal effort for candidates filing lawsuits to challenge this decision. We'll be honest. As one of the most underfunded parties in the nation, we didn't have the funds to make these decisions. But in the last two days we've seen a massive surge of national support. And we're counting on that to continue so we can fund the operations needed to fight back against MAGA. So, please. If fighting for our Democracy and protecting Black voters is worth even just $1 to you, chip in right now. We need you in this fight.
