## Resource

For the first time in history, Republicans now outnumber Democrats in Louisiana, marking a seismic shift in voter registration that reflects years of conservative electoral dominance. With over a million Republicans and just over a million Democrats as of July 1, the GOP sees this as validation of the state’s growing conservative identity, while Democrats blame a voter suppression campaign. The Republican Secretary of State denies removing voters, citing inactive roll updates. As Louisiana moves toward closed primaries, both parties are gearing up for a razor-thin battle where every vote could decide the next chapter in the state’s political future.
