There will be NO lines tomorrow at the polls.
The weather forecast is good.
The ballot is small.
The polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m.
So, there's really NO excuse not to go vote!
Every voter can decide on the proposed constitutional amendment.
Fifty percent (50%) of Shreveport voters can decide if Emily Merckle or Edward Mouton will be the new city judge.
Hosston residents get to pick their next mayor and police chief.
And many Republicans can decide representatives for the Republican State Central Committee (RSCC).
The ballot does not have the big draw of the presidential election. But it is still important.
Let's make a special effort to exercise our right to vote!
