The number of people who cast their ballots early in Louisiana dropped off from the Nov. 4 primary election to the Dec. 6 runoff election in every statewide category except one: registered Republican voters.
About 85,900 registered Republicans took advantage of early voting for the Dec. 6 runoff. That's almost 3,000 more than voted early for the Nov. 4 election, and amounts to a 4 percent bump in early voting overall from a month ago.
The jump in early Republican voters is noteworthy, given that early voting overall dropped by 10 percent from the November primary to the December runoff. The number of registered Democrats who voted early fell even further -- about an 18 percent decrease -- from the primary to the runoff, according to information provided by the Secretary of State's office.

Still, the biggest decline in early voters statewide happened among African Americans, who have typically backed Landrieu. The number of black voters casting early ballots fell by 24 percent from the Nov. 4 election period to the Dec. 6 election period.
Orleans Parish also saw a 25 percent drop in early voting from the Nov. 4 primary to the Dec. 6 runoff, though Orleans early voting is -- for the most part -- still much higher than it typically has been.

Landrieu relied heavily on Orleans Parish to put her into first place during the November primary. She beat Cassidy in Orleans by nearly 80,000 votes, despite beating him statewide by only 16,250 votes.
The Republican stronghold of St. Tammany Parish, meanwhile, has recorded an increase in the number of people voting early from primary to the runoff. Approximately 17,000 St. Tammany residents voted early for the Dec. 6 election, compared with 16,000 before the Nov. 4 election.

Louisana voters do not let up. Anything less than a 15% win will be characterized as a ‘moral victory’ against the Republican wave. Do not doubt me on this.
Good bye Miss Piggly Wiggly. good bye......
Orleans Parish will deliver Mary Loser a busload of votes.
It just won’t be enough to offset the statewide GOP advantage.
Stick a fork in her - her goose is gonna be cooked this coming Saturday.
Great. Keep growing the majority.

I think after this, statehouses which are republican run with Democrat governors should issue recalls.
Let’s see what happens when the bus loads of professional democrat voters start pulling in from places like Chicago on election day.
They better get ready to manufacture votes in Naw Awlins... and hope the run-off is close enough for them to cheat.
At this point, turnout does not look encouraging enough for them to pull it off. With a week left, Democrats need to hit the ground running.

Barack: Hmmm. It’s starting to look like your “Ferguson Strategy” is working - in reverse.
Valerie: But, but ,but we have the media, we have the Rams, we have international support, we had well organized riots. We even got the Grand Jury decision we wanted. Everything went per plan. I can’t explain it. Maybe they just don’t love you anymore, Barry.
You still sticking with 60/40?
LA voters, run that score up! Don’t let up on Landrieu. Send that last message to the imperial federal government the voters of this country are pissed, restive, and wanting a serious course correction.

Historically that is true but is there enough money floating around to hire
the get out the vote effort, drivers, food, beer, etc.? If the money isn’t there
then Mary is toast this coming Saturday.

Absolutely
Too bad Moon’s daughter won’t do the classy thing and just concede now, save the taxpayers money. For once.
70/30 would be better but I’ll settle for 60/40.
Methinks Mary is going to get spanked!
Democrats are staying home sucking their thumbs.
