A report from the New York Times says that turnout in the Louisiana Republican primary has been low as state GOPers make their choice today. The vote will allot 20 delegates, with an additional 26 doled out through the state party’s convention, delegates from individual Congresional districts, and some are Republican National Committee members.
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum led the last five polls of the state and is widely expected to win tonight’s vote. From the NYT:
As Louisiana became the 28th state to head to the polls in a drawn-out Republican presidential race, turnout appeared very light at several sites around New Orleans, a combination perhaps of campaign fatigue and the competition of a lovely Saturday morning ideal for gardening and visiting crawfish festivals, which are back in season.
