Early voting is underway in Louisiana

40,000 vote on Day One.

If you're voting early or often over the next couple of weeks here are some links that might be helpful.

BGR has a rundown of everything on the ballot including the 9 proposed constitutional amendments. I can't stand by all of BGR's recommendations but their analysis is useful.

The NOLA League of Women Voters submits questionnaires to all candidates in local elections and posts their responses here.

The Lens and WWNO are hosting a series of Q&A sessions with Orleans Parish School Board candidates. The first of these is posted at this link. There will be more to follow. 

This week, by the way, The Nation took a look at the amount of money coming in from around the country to influence local education policy in Louisiana. I hope to have more on this in the next week or so but please take a moment to read that article. 

4 of the minor party Presidential candidates are debating tonight. I assume the video of this event will be archived here.

The major party candidates have debated three times.  I don't think any of those debates has been particularly useful to anyone hoping to make an informed decision but you can find them all at CSPAN as well as just about anywhere on the internet you might care to google. Equally as stupid and uninformative are the "songified" versions of these events which you may view for entertainment purposes.  The Townhall songified debate was my favorite.
