I don't think that Landrieu STOLE the election. Conservatives underestimate just how popular the Landrieu family is in LA, particularly among blacks, the poor, and the downtrodden, and those on fixed incomes, etc.


She definitely STOLE the election against Jenkins. I heard reports that some inner city N.O. precincts had over 90% turnout. Vote fraud accounts for between 1/2 - 2% of the Democrat vote total in any southern election. She may have had enough legit votes against Terrell to defeat her without the fraud, MAYBE. Against Jenkins, there is no doubt her winning margin was provided by fraud. BTW, any Democrat is popular among those groups you mentioned.

1996

852,945 - Mary Landrieu
847,157 - Woody Jenkins

2002

638,654 - Mary Landrieu
596,642 - Suzanne Haik Terrell

Kinda makes me wonder where some of those Jenkins were in 02.

I agree, if there was fraud with Landrieu, it was in 1996. However, some white "moderates" refused to support Jenkins on grounds that he was "too conservative." Therefore, Landrieu was the narrow winner over Jenkins, whose career was left in ruins after three senatorial defeats, 1978, 1980, and then 1996.
