Did Louisiana's Voters Give Jeff Landry A Mandate?

 Landry, the GOP, some pundits and pollsters seem to think  so.  But this writer thinks not.  Less than 40% of Louisiana's registered voters turned out to vote, so there is no mandate.  Obviously, the majority of registered voters lacked confidence in all those on the ballet who wanted to be governor.  That is what takes place when you have an electorate bombarded with lies, misinformation and down right un-truths from the GOP and a enabling media.  

What a GOP administration will now bring is higher unemployment, less service for the people, more control over the private lives of citizens and what they can do or read.  Budget deficits will return and the state will just be another game for the GOP and Landry's hero, Donald Trump.  How does this writer know that?  Well, it goes back to precedent of past GOP administrations.
