House Bill 906 could shakeup Louisiana’s election system

A controversial bill moving through the Louisiana Legislature could lock nearly one-third of the state’s voters out of key primary elections. The proposal would allow Democrats and Republicans to block “no party” voters from participating in certain closed primaries, potentially reshaping how elections work in Louisiana. Political analyst Pearson Cross joins Newell to discuss what the bill could mean for independent voters, why lawmakers may be pushing for more closed primaries, and whether Louisiana’s longtime “jungle primary” system could be disappearing for good.
