Local news is showing Orleans Parish is roughly 50 - 50 while Jefferson is leading Orleans by a wide margin. They mentioned Carter's McKinney-like comments in Spike Lee's documentary and Jefferson's Parish Sheriff Harry Lee's comments about Carter "running her fat mouth".

Derrick Shepard is saying the same thing.

But an Orleans Parish Councilman who is supporting Carter says he doesn't think Sheriff Lee's comments about Carter's comments played a role in the results.

Harry Lee is rather blunt at times. But he hasn't been a horrible sheriff. He has been in for a while and was considering running for governor a while back.
