Louisiana is a deep RED state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. The Senate race is solidly RED. But Louisiana does have two reliably Democratic House seats, LS-2 and LS-6. Because of re-districting and other attempts to sway the outcome of this election, the latter seat in particular is now considered “purple” for the purposes of vote-swapping.
2026 Primary Election takes place on:

STRATEGIC VOTING RECOMMENDATION:
Vote for a progressive candidate in the Democratic Primary who will challenge not only the MAGA Republican madness but also the Democratic Party establishment!
Senate Race
This is a Red state. No matter how you vote, the Republican is going to win this Senate seat! Therefore you are safe voting for a third-party candidate without risking the outcome of this election.

STRATEGIC VOTING RECOMMENDATION:
Vote third party and swap your vote with a voter in a purple state. You are thereby increasing the chances of a Democrat-controlled Senate even though you are not voting Democrat in your own state.
