The strongest case for each side
For the Senate race and all ten amendments, the best honest argument each way. Equal space, no endorsement.
A new primary system, and no Senate runoff
Louisiana moved to closed party primaries for the Senate this year. On November 3 the most votes wins, with no December Senate runoff, though House races may still go to one.
Not the May amendments
These are ten new questions, not the five voters rejected on May 16. For each one, we show who's for it and who's against it, including two advocacy groups with opposite politics.
Sourced, not spun
Every factual claim is tied to reporting and official records, listed at the back.

Is it partisan?
No. PolitiGeist is independent and makes no endorsement in any race or on any amendment. The point is the strongest case for both sides.
What does it cover?
The U.S. Senate race and Amendments 1 through 10. Louisiana's statewide executive offices are elected in odd years, next in 2027, and this year's Supreme Court seats are elected by district and were settled before November. U.S. House, legislative, and local races aren't included.
Is there a runoff?
Not for the Senate. Under this year's closed-primary system, the candidate with the most votes on November 3 wins. U.S. House races may still go to a December 12 runoff.
