3 days ago, over in Louisiana, enough evidence of illegal voting was uncovered, such that

a state Supreme Court judge completely nullified the results of an election.

His rationale was that enough ballots were cast illegally to actually change the outcome

of the race, and therefore, the entire thing had to be scrapped and redone.

The details of this case are wild.

Let me quickly give you a backstory here.

To start with, in case you're not aware, over in Louisiana, instead of having counties,

they have what are known as parishes.

They're basically the exact same thing as counties, but because of the unique history

of Louisiana, they're instead called parishes.

And about three weeks ago, on November the 18th, there was an election for sheriff held

over in Cato Parish, located in the northwestern part of the state.

And in this race, you had two prominent candidates.

You had Henry Whitehorn, the Democrat, and John Nicholson, the Republican.

And so, election day came, about 43,000 people voted, and after all the dust settled, the

official results showed that the Democrat, Mr. Henry Whitehorn, had won the election by

a margin of just a single vote.

Now by law, that slim of a margin requires an automatic recount.

And Mr. John Nicholson, for his part, he was pushing for the recount to be done by

hand.

However, the local board of elections claimed that a hand recount would just take too long,

and so instead, they opted for a machine recount instead.
