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.
