Early voting numbers on pace to surpass 2022 midterm's early voting totals
BATON ROUGE - Monday and Tuesday are the last days of early voting for Louisiana's November midterm election, and early voting numbers show they have nearly surpassed the total number of ballots cast in the early voting period for the 2022 midterms. The last days of early voting for Louisiana's November midterm election are leading to nearly surpassing the total number of ballots cast in the early voting period for the 2022 midterms. Data from the Secretary of State shows that 363,685 people have already cast their ballots in Louisiana, with Black voters accounting for approximately 34% of the vote. Saturday saw the highest percentage yet of ballots voted by Black voters, with 28,481 or 41.7% of those voting early. The high turnout is attributed to efforts by multiple organizations to hold heading-to-the-polls events across Louisiana. Along party lines, registered Democrats have a slight advantage over registered Republicans in the total early votes.
