路易斯安那州选民将于周二选出未来两年的联邦众议员。该州目前的国会代表团由四名共和党人和两名民主党人组成，但在最高法院就“路易斯安那州诉卡莱案”作出裁决后，州长杰夫·兰德里推迟了该州的初选，以便州立法机构重新划分国会选区地图，导致目前由民主党把持的两个选区之一不再拥有非裔美国人多数，并有可能转为共和党控制。
Louisiana voters on Tuesday will elect their U.S. representatives for the next two years. The Pelican State's congressional delegation currently comprises four Republicans and two Democrats, but after the Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais, Gov. Jeff Landry postponed the state's primaries to allow the state Legislature to redraw its congressional district map, resulting in one of the two districts currently held by Democrats no longer having an African American majority and likely flipping to the Republican column.
由于推迟，该州将于11月3日举行“丛林初选”，如有需要将于12月12日进行决选。
Because of the delay, the Pelican State will hold a jungle primary on Nov. 3 with runoffs scheduled for Dec. 12 if needed.
目前由民主党众议员克莱奥·菲尔兹把持的第六选区（涵盖巴吞鲁日、拉法叶和什里夫波特大部分地区）在今年早些时候共和党主导的重新划分选区后，被选举预测机构普遍认为将翻红。菲尔兹不寻求连任，转而竞选州参议员。
The 6th District, which comprises most of Baton Rouge, Lafayette and Shreveport, is currently held by Democratic Rep. Cleo Fields but is widely expected to flip to Republicans by election forecasters following the GOP-led redistricting earlier this year. Fields is not seeking reelection and is instead running for the state Senate.
路易斯安那州共和党已在该选区背书两名候选人——州参议员里克·埃德蒙兹和布莱克·米格兹，但候选人众多可能导致竞争进入12月决选。投票将于美东时间晚上9点截止。
The Louisiana GOP has endorsed two candidates in the race, state Sens. Rick Edmonds and Blake Miguez, but a crowded field could mean the race heads to a runoff in December. Polls close at 9 p.m. EST.
