5. Only 38% of all registered Republican voters in the state of Louisiana voted in their Senate primary.

There are 1,023,335 registered Republican voters in Louisiana.

Letlow received 179,876, Fleming 113,428, and Cassidy 99,479 in the Louisiana Republican Senate primary, for a total of 392,783 votes, or 38% of all registered Republican voters in the state.

Taken one step further, only 28.6% (293,304) of registered Republican voters in Louisiana followed Trump's orders and voted against Cassidy, casting their votes for either Letlow or Fleming.

I suspect Trump's approval numbers are closer to 28% than 37%.
