Louisiana Gubernatorial Election

September 21st, 2007

Louisiana elects its state officers in the odd year before presidential election years. This year the Louisiana state election is on October 20. The Times-Picayune, largest newspaper in New Orleans, has a story on the 12 gubernatorial candidates here. Among the 12 is T. Lee Horne, who will be the first Libertarian Party candidate for Louisiana Governor ever; and Belinda Alexandrenko, who is the candidate of a party she created called Hope for America Party. She was the Reform Party candidate for Governor in 1999; in that election she polled 8,978 votes, or .7%.

If no one gets at least 50%, there will be a run-off among the top two in November 2007.

    Belinda was also an Amondson Elector in 2004.

    Congratulations again on not calling the Louisiana system a “primary” (although the locals do call it the “open primary”).

    Jungle Primary is the most often used term.
