Buying Time: Louisiana’s Special Session and the Supreme Court Wildcard

State Senator Caleb Kleinpeter joins the show to break down Louisiana’s urgent special session as lawmakers scramble to delay spring primaries. With the Supreme Court yet to rule on redistricting challenges under the Voting Rights Act, the legislature aims to push elections back by a month—hoping for clarity before deadlines hit. Kleinpeter explains the stakes: potential changes to Section 2, risks of unconstitutional maps, and the tightrope between closed primaries and legal compliance. Behind-the-scenes talks, procedural hurdles, and the looming possibility of contingency plans make this a pivotal moment for Louisiana politics.
