“With the election falling on a Saturday, it’s going to take extra effort to get the vote out for us,” says a DNC staffer working in Baton Rouge. “This whole thing seems rigged to go Republican. They are much more motivated.”
The weekend voting aside, Republicans are already getting ready for Florida 2000-like shenanigans at polling places.
According to the DNC source, the party has already lined up a number of “volunteer” drivers to get voters to the polls for a fee of $5 per voter. “This is standard Louisiana politicking,” says the source. It’s how Landrieu won last time out.
