(Photo by Jarvis DeBerry) Louisiana has a voting access problem, particularly in areas where Black voters reside. But one bill before the Louisiana Legislature, HB 286 sponsored by Rep. Frederick Jones (D-Monroe), would address this problem by increasing access to in-person voting and extending from seven days to 11 eleven days the window for early voting in presidential elections.  The 2020 Election proved HB 286 is necessary. The election exposed the limitations of Louisiana’s in-person voting infrastructure and forced voters to rely on polling places that were stretched past their limits. Concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic caused more Louisianians than ever to vote early.  There was a historically high turnout and historically long lines.  However, those  problems didn’t begin in  2020. Louisiana is one of several states that saw a drastic decrease in voting
