Louisiana Nov 16, 2019 Run-Off Election Results thread

Not looking as good for the early vote as JBE would've hoped. Obviously so far this doesn't include NO or BR but if it's about 50/50 or only slight lead in the early vote then might be in for a long night.

Idk what you all are going on about. Things are looking good for JBE imo.

Only if we expect the election day vote to be as friendly to JBE as the early vote is. Maybe it will be, but most people don't expect it to be.

New Orleans will definitely clean the gap for JBE right now, so in reality, Rispone is probably slightly behind.

It looks like it's over for Rispone. The election day vote is not helping him.

I'm guessing 53-47 Edwards by the end of this - with the way it looks right now.

The overall results were surprisingly close for how the county margins went. It seems just based on the margins Edwards was getting in the urban and semi-urban counties that he was going to easily win. I still expected Rispone to do better even in some of the rural Republican areas. It just shows me that Rispone didn't need to do that well in order to win, but he fell pretty hard compared to the combined Republican vote in the primary.

Black and Democratic turnout was far stronger in the runoff vs the primary, early and election day voting. JBE's campaign knocked it out of the park. They knew their voters and knew how to turn them out after their scare in the primary. It's pretty obvious the way they ran their campaign made a difference.
