Ugh, it will rain in most of the state south of I-10 at some point or another today. The rain right now is mostly focused in Acadiana. New Orleans and Baton Rouge will get some towards mid-day, but it looks like things will be mostly clear for at least the last 4 or 5 hours of voting there.
The north may be having an outsized influence here...
Not a big deal. Most of the rain is going to be in cajun country which has went from a democrat leaning to strongly GOP leaning region(even stronger than the traditionally republican north) over the past 1.5 decades.
So this supposedly this should help bel edwards.... somewhat...
I was working a bit on the Nashville mayoral election a few months ago, and when it was supposed to rain on Election Day, the Fox people were excited, because apparently Republicans vote and Democrats don't on rainy days, but then it turned into a beautiful sunny summer afternoon, and Barry, the Democrat, won 55-45. Rain might actually be good for Vitter here.
