Party Day and the recent election have sparked a mix of reactions across various parishes. Here’s what they had to say:
Bogafalaya Parish: Residents here expressed a sense of fairness overall, but concerns were raised about the treatment of Parker Alleman (the Bogafalaya candidate for Nationalist Attorney General). They believe alliances undermined the election’s integrity. Matthew Dawson (a Bogafalaya citizen) noted, “People mainly stuck to a majority vote.”
Cane Parish: This parish came to the general consensus that the election was fair for the most part. Coeyn Wise (Governor canidate for Federalist Party): Wise emphasized the role of PPCs, stating, “The PPCs are supposed to represent everyone fully, and if they don’t, that’s their own fault.”
Pearl Parish: Opinions here were that PPCs did represent the people, though not always the best candidates. Kevin Falterman (a Pearl Resident) commented, “The election was driven by selfishness.”
Atchafalaya Parish: Echoing the sentiment of selfishness, Thomas Kaska (an Atchafalaya citizen) criticized, “PPCs did not take opposing votes into consideration.”
Mississippi Parish: After initially believing the election was rigged, the parish came to a different conclusion. Jud Brown (a Mississippi citizen) reflected, “We realized after some time that it wasn’t the election’s fault but the citizens’ fault it was unfair.”
Sabine Parish: Similar to Mississippi Parish, initial suspicions of rigged elections withered away with a change in perspective. They concluded the unfairness stemmed from the rationale behind Citizen voting rather than bias.
The varied responses highlight the complexities and differing perceptions surrounding the recent election and Party Day. Despite differing responses, the common theme was seeking fair representation and integrity in the voting process.
