Washington. Luisiana se convirtió este viernes en el primer estado de Estados Unidos en postergar sus elecciones primarias presidenciales, del 4 de abril al 20 de junio, debido a la pandemia del nuevo coronavirus.

"Hoy certifiqué que existe un estado de emergencia", dijo en rueda de prensa Kyle Ardoin, secretario de Estado de Luisiana, al anunciar la medida, apuntando que "la ley establece medidas extraordinarias para enfrentar desastres".
