August 19 is the Louisiana deadline for qualified parties, and also independent presidential candidates and the presidential nominees of unqualified parties, to file presidential elector candidates. On August 19, Jill Stein and Darrell Castle filed. As of this moment there are eleven presidential candidates set in Louisiana. With two hours to go, there is still no filing by Rocky De La Fuente, Evan McMullin, or Jim Hedges. Many campaigns have been having difficulty with the Louisiana filing because this week’s floods have forced many residents to flee their homes, and it is diffiult for some presidential elector candidates to sign, notarize and deliver candidacy forms.
How soon before LA is totally underwater with ZERO humans — i.e. a giant swamp full of gators, snakes, etc. ???
Any indication that the state may allow late filings due to the flooding?
The Secretary of State’s web page is firm that no late filings are permitted. The Secretary of State says it is accepting faxes and e-mailed scans, to compensate.
Well, that’s something. Thanks.
