Why it matters: Landry says an "electoral emergency exists," which gives him authority to suspend or delay elections. The big picture: The governor issued an executive order Thursday afternoon that suspends the closed-party primaries on May 16 and June 27 for the U.S. House races. - The other races and ballot measures will continue as planned, his statement says. - Early voting was set to start Saturday.
