In New Orleans County, far more women have voted early than men.

Not sure if this helps Peterson or not.

Probably no effect.

For whatever reasons woman are generally more likely to vote then men, so it’s probably a wash

In the south this is unfortunately because more AA men are likely to have lost their voting rights to (frequently unjust) incarceration than women, which slants the electorates demographics.

I wasn’t just referring to AA communities, but yea Jim Crow voting laws effect men more then women

Interesting that black voters up in missouri helped cori bush pull off the huge upset

but down in nola region, black voters seem to much more split.

Black voters aren’t a monolith. Bush’s districts and the 2nd are incredibly different, with the later being much more rural

The final is looking to be around 55-45, so he could be vulnerable to a primary in the fall next year
