  1. They’ve had to modify their plans slightly because of the huge flood in Louisiana over the last week.

    “Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler says qualifying for the Presidential
    Election is still occurring in Louisiana despite the historic flooding emergency. The deadline for qualifying
    remains FRIDAY, AUGUST 19, 2016 at 4:30 P.M.

    Staff are manning the Secretary of State’s Office to accept presidential qualifying paperwork in person, but
    are also accepting documents via email, fax and mail. For qualifiers who are concerned about getting original
    signatures to us in time, they may fax to 225.922.1167 or 225.922.0945 AND send via the U.S. Postal
    Service as follow up. They may also scan documents and email them to admin@sos.la.gov and then send via
    the U.S. Postal Service as follow up.”
