Louisiana politics has been corrupt for the entirety of the lifetime of anyone who is alive. That it has become a bipartisan effort is not shocking.

- DFHippie 6y agoBut what is bipartisan about this particular effort? It's popular to decry corruption and then, in the same breath, say everyone is corrupt so best just lie back and take it.

- Axsuul 6y agoPlease put me in my place if I'm wrong here, but isn't it typically the Democrats who have the most to gain with more people voting (e.g. young people more likely to be liberal but less likely to vote)?
- pc86 6y agoIt depends on the area. In general yes you're right but you could absolutely find a lot of areas where increased voter turnout corresponds to increased Republican votes.
- soco 6y agoI believe the COUNTRY has the most to gain if more people are voting, whatever that party was.
- Axsuul 6y agoI agree but what I'm saying is the incentive for being bi-partisan is less so.
