Early voting starts Saturday for Louisiana's May 16 elections. The U.S. Senate Republican primary is a key contest, with Sen. Bill Cassidy facing U.S. Rep. Julia Letlow and state Treasurer John Fleming. Letlow has President Donald Trump's endorsement. Five constitutional amendments are on the ballot, including a teacher pay raise and changes to the mandatory retirement age for judges. Louisiana is using a new semi-closed party primary system for the first time since 2010. Registered party members can only vote for their party's candidates, while 'No Party' voters can choose one party's ballot. The U.S. House of Representatives election will not be counted due to a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that found Louisiana's Congressional voting maps unconstitutional.
