Problem is most of the country doesnt understand is Louisiana's tax system HEAVILY relies on income and sales tax far greater portion for state funding than any other state, and the salaries dont justify the rates. The other big problem is they have nearly $24,000,000,000 worth of immediately needed infrastructure projects done but it isnt happening anytime soon (one reason why my hometown of Mobile got the $4.2 Billion steel plant) And lastly, they are still losing people to out-migration. Since 2000, Louisiana has lost nearly 340,000 people nearly 65% were 18-35 yrs old, mostly to Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas... and NO state can survive until that problem is corrected ASAP.

We have these new electronic voting machines and they are apparently screwed up or rigged on purpose.... I just recieved this email from T.Lee Horne, III himself this morning:



"The election didn't go well. I received a few reports, one from my campaign
manager, that the electronic machines were switching votes from me to
Jindal. When he called to Sec of State and finally got someone he was told
it is a known problem and they don't know what to do about it.

Other people contacted me. They would vote for me, then vote the rest of the
ballot, go back to check their votes and the vote for me was changed before
they recorded so they canceled and revoted.

In Franklin, only 1 person officially voted for me in my precinct. Not
likely as I voted for me and I am sure of 3 others.

In Bunkie, 3 people in one precinct voted for me and only 2 votes showed up
for me.

How many other votes for other candidates were switched to B. Jindal? But
hey, it is Louisiana, what can you expect?



T. Lee Horne, III"

Doesn't look very favorable for Ron Paul in this state either... the totalitarians are taking over.
