I published this story last week, but believe it or not, things have gotten even weirder since, and I haven't even checked the news today.
If you're in Louisiana, don't forget today is the last day to vote on 4 proposed constitutional amendments.
As is tradition in Louisiana, the amendments are vaguely worded and difficult to understand. Even legal experts seem to be confused about what exactly will be accomplished by these amendments.
I'll be honest and admit that I also don't fully understand, but I plan to vote No on all four. Given my recent discovery that a vaguely worded executive order was used to grant the Louisiana National Guard authority over a state of emergency related to cybersecurity, I feel secure in the decision to deny the government another chance to amend the state constitution:

Your vote is your own choice to make, and I hope you do vote regardless of what you choose to vote for. Here are a few resources about the amendments if you would like more information:
