And then there will be a counter-suit...
Sign-Up Reopened for House Race in La.
Louisiana's "non-partisan" elections sure seem to bring out the partisan in everybody. A Democratic judge re-opened the signup process for a congressional seat where a cretin congressman signed up for re-election as a Democrat then switched to being a Republican right before the deadline, too late for the Democrats to mount a challenge. The Republicans, of course, are upset that they won't get a free seat out of the deal and I'm guessing they'll appeal.

I don't get why he switched. Half of Louisiana's GOP are ex-Democrats. Personally if I was Dennis Hatsert, I'd wnat them to stay Democrats so we can give them kudos and claim bi-partisanship.
Besides, the Democrat who could win this seat would be slightly to the right of Zell Miller anyway.
I much prefer getting Democrats like Arthur Davis to win primaries in Democratic strongholds.
