Voters across Acadiana turn out to recall Jeff Landry
Excerpt
The night after the Louisiana Legislature approved a congressional map eliminating one of the two Black voting districts in the state, over 200 Acadiana residents turned out to sign petitions to recall both Gov. Jeff Landry and Attorney General Liz Murrill, the two officials who spearheaded the redistricting.
“That felt good” and “it’s time to end this foolishness” were among the remarks made by those signing the petition at Lafayette City Hall Thursday night, illustrating a growing frustration with Landry, at least in part due to his decision to delay congressional races to this fall in order to secure another Republican congressman for Louisiana.
