Landry said. “With record numbers of voters showing up to vote early in-person and with all results uploaded in less than three hours of polls closing, I am pleased to say that this election went exceedingly well. I want to thank Commissioner of Elections Sherri Wharton Hadskey and her team; our Clerks of Court and their staffs; our Registrars of Voters and their staffs; and the thousands of election commissioners across the state who were professional, courteous, and dedicated to delivering democracy to the people of Louisiana. I also want to express my appreciation to the voters of Louisiana for making their voices heard, and the candidates who offered themselves for service.”
