Bernard says she'll re-enter contest
By KELLY P. KISSEL | Metro editor Three East Baton Rouge school members seeking re-election were shown the door, and a member who didn't want to be re-elected led the way in her race. The school board races had some odd results. A fourth member won by fewer than two dozen votes. Charles Lussier wraps up what happened.

One of the five measures rejected targeted slavery, but was written in a way that even the proposal's sponsor asked people to vote against it. The new College Football Playoff rankings came out last night as Election Day voting wrapped up. LSU made a sizable jump. |
