'If you are a displaced citizen, like I am, we have a burning desire for completeness,' said U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle, whose own New Orleans home flooded after Hurricane Katrina.
Lemelle said voting will help the city rebuild, but he warned that its residents have already lost trust in institutions. 'I recognize that there is still room for improvement in that electoral process,' he said."
