Statement from Secretary of State Landry on voting-related federal indictments

BATON ROUGE, La. — Statement from Secretary of State Nancy Landry on the indictments from a federal grand jury in the Western District of Louisiana of two individuals on voting-related charges.

“These indictments in North Louisiana stem from information our Election Integrity Division uncovered and shared with our federal law enforcement partners. This is exactly why we work every day to keep Louisiana’s voter rolls accurate and investigate potential violations of our election laws. I appreciate the Department of Justice and our federal partners in pursuing charges in these cases.

One illegal vote is one too many. An illegal vote erases the voice of a lawful voter. When we uncover potential illegal activity, we will investigate it, refer it to the appropriate authorities, and pursue accountability.”

– Secretary of State Nancy Landry
