Trump supporters apparently upset with the outcome of the presidential election are rallying at the Louisiana state Capitol. Speaker mentioned “watermarked ballots” and says “don’t give up” #lalege #lagov
Signs say “Biden=communism” and “stop the steal.” All major networks and Fox News have called the race for president-elect Joe Biden. #lalege #lagov
Lanar Whitney, the RNC Rep for Louisiana, says “We will not go down without a battle.” #lalege #lagov
One of the only people here with a mask laughs and tells me “they’re wasting their time.” #lalege #lagov
A group of folks is chanting a prayer in unison 
Lanar Whitney tells me this rally is a part of an RNC-organized effort on Facebook to get trump supporters to turn out at state capitols across the US.
Karl Michels, a Walker electrician, tells me he thinks Biden’s win is illegitimate because of ambiguous instances of fraud. He says he gets his news from Facebook and Newsmax. #lalege #lagov
