In another telling election District 60 in Louisiana went Trump by +13 points a year ago swung back to Democrats by -34 points... a total net change in voters of 47 points. Yikes. I dont make predictions but I can certainly read signs that are flashing neon with 1 Billion megawatts in my face. Things are not looking good for fascist authoritarian regimes catering to the wealthy and killing US citizens. But, I could be wrong.

Democrat Chastity Verret Martinez has won the special election for Louisiana House District 60, defeating Republican challenger Brad Daigle by a wide margin in a district that supported President Donald Trump in 2024.
Martinez, an Iberville Parish Council member, will fill the seat vacated by Chad Brown, who resigned to take a state appointment. Because Louisiana’s special primary system awards the seat outright if a candidate wins a majority, no runoff is needed.
Martinez received about 62 percent of the vote to Daigle’s 38 percent, according to the Louisiana Secretary of State website.
Trump carried the district by a 56‑43 margin in 2024 against former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to calculations by The Downballot.
