It's a moveable feast

Very important to make sure you get your election dates in proper tune with the lunar cycle.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Louisiana will shuffle election dates in 2020, moving the presidential primary from March to April because of Easter-related scheduling conflicts.

Lawmakers made the adjustment in an elections bill sent to the governor.

Under the change, Louisiana’s presidential and municipal primary will be held April 4 next year, rather than its originally scheduled March 7 date.

After 2020, the primary will revert back to the first Saturday in March.

The secretary of state’s office said the municipal general election, which comes five weeks after the primary, would have fallen on Easter weekend.
Otherwise something really strange might happen.  I guess this also makes Louisiana even less relevant in the primary calendar than it already was.  (Again, unless something really strange happens.) Which is why Ted James and Helena Moreno declaring themselves Team Kamala today isn't as big a story as it could be. It wouldn't be too too surprising if most elected Louisiana Democrats will have already jumped to her from a likely to be sinking Biden by then, anyway.

Unless something strange happens.
