Today Is Election Day In Louisiana
Voters are going to the polls today in Louisiana's jungle primary for state offices, with all candidates on the same ballot regardless of party.
The big question in the gubernatorial race is whether Congressman Bobby Jindal (R), the 2003 nominee, will be able to break the 50% mark and avoid a runoff. Polls have shown Jindal approaching, but not exceeding, that threshold.
The top opponents have been state senator Walter Boasso, running as a Democrat, and businessman John George, running as an independent — both of whom are ex-Republicans.
Polls close tonight at 9 p.m. ET.

LA is very likely to switch to GOP, but it is only the number 2 on Campaign Diaries's Governor Rankings page -- after KY!

From Baton Rouge's *The Advocate* website (www.2theadvocate.com):
9:30 p.m. - WBRZ is reporting that the East Baton Rouge Parish Clerk of Court is having computer difficulties. No returns for East Baton Rouge Parish are available yet. We are also having difficulties accessing returns on the Secretary of State's election results site.
I voted on a touchscreen machine with no paper record in East Baton Rouge parish today. (No choice.) I was nervous about the integrity of the system in the booth, and I'm even more nervous about it now.
