Red state voters confused as GOP cancels House races and scrambles to redraw districts

Early voting for the May 16 election began Saturday with confusion over whether all the races listed on the ballot are still taking place.

Even motivated voters who showed up within the first few hours said they weren’t quite sure whether the U.S. House elections were still happening.

“I went ahead and voted for who I wanted to vote for. If they don’t count it, that’s their problem,” said Betty Powers, who has participated in every election since 1968, outside an East Baton Rouge Parish polling location.
