Louisiana's chief elections officer asks governor to postpone the state's presidential primary election because of concerns about the coronavirus. It would be the first state to do so.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards speaks about the new coronavirus while U.S. Surgeon General Jerome Adams, right, listens on Thursday, March 12, 2020, in Baton Rouge, La. The number of cases of the COVID-19 disease caused by the virus are on the rise in Louisiana.
Secretary of State Kyle Ardoin said he wants to delay the April 4 primary until June 20. He sent the emergency request to Gov. John Bel Edwards, who was expected to approve it, which would make Louisiana the first state to push back its election because of the virus. Louisiana also postponed elections in 2005 after hurricanes Katrina and Rita and in 2008 after hurricanes Gustav and Ike.
As of Friday, the number of residents testing positive in the state had jumped to 33, centered largely in the New Orleans area, according to the state health department’s latest figures. The positive tests are awaiting confirmation from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
