Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler

Louisiana Secretary of State Tom Schedler says he is concerned that the massive flood destruction may cause the Nov. 8 general election voter turnout in the three hardest hit parishes – East Baton Rouge, Livingston and Ascension – to be lower than past years.

“It seems like it took forever, but it got here quickly,” he said.
