6:30 p.m. – Word is that John Bel Edwards’ camp has internal polling which says he’s going to get 52 percent tonight. No public polls show that other than the one Verne Kennedy has been doing. Our take is that polling simply isn’t reliable because busy people don’t answer the phone for polls, and our theory is that as a result of that phenomenon the polls are greatly undersampling the state’s conservative voters.
Barack Obama robocall gives Gov. John Bel Edwards a last-minute get-out-the-vote boost

Gov. John Bel Edwards is getting a last-minute boost to his get-out-the-vote efforts from former President Barack Obama, who recorded a robo-call earlier this week where he praises Edwards’ expansion of Medicaid and flood recovery and urges people to vote for him.
The robo-call, paid for by the Democratic State Central Committee of Louisiana, is about a minute long and also features state party chair Karen Carter Peterson, who introduces Obama, according to a recording posted to social media by the campaign of Congressman Ralph Abraham, one of Edwards’ rivals in Saturday’s election.
