Voting chaos in the spotlight: Louisiana voters are raising alarms after Gov. Jeff Landry said early ballots tied to congressional races could be thrown out following the Supreme Court’s Louisiana v. Callais ruling, with thousands already returned and election officials facing confusion. Redistricting fight heats up: The fallout is spilling into court and politics nationwide, while Louisiana lawmakers push to redraw maps before the May 16 primary. Local politics: In Shreveport, a petition drive to recall Landry drew a crowd at Government Plaza. Public safety: Two people died in a Claiborne Parish head-on crash on Highway 2. Weather watch: Southeast Louisiana is bracing for more storms and a renewed flash-flood threat along the I-10 corridor. Sports & culture: UNC’s new punter Adam McCann-Gibbs returns home for a debut at Aviva Stadium; and LSU’s simulation lab is training future clinicians with lifelike high-tech mannequins.
