f you thought there weren’t any major elections until the Iowa caucuses on Feb. 3, guess again. On Saturday, Louisiana will choose between incumbent Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards and Republican businessman Eddie Rispone for governor. And the race down in the Bayou looks increasingly close, so it’s an open question whether Edwards can once again overcome Louisiana’s deep red hue to win reelection. Here’s where things stand heading into Election Day.

I guess Edwards is still liked over there in the big cities..the Parish’s all went for Rispone but New Orleans went for Edwards and that is how he was able to win
Trump should be getting support, regardless. Especially if the state is 60% against impeachment.
Look how many votes the SOS got.
Something is fishy with the Gov #’s , lately.
Do you want congratulations? Probably a couple of people here will celebrate with you.
Orleans Parish is 68% reporting, with Edwards with 90% of the vote. Not enough votes in the rest of the State to overcome this deficit. Color this election over, Edwards is re-elected.
Like water from a burst levee, the Dem votes from Orleans parish is pouring in...
Edwards wins this one....
Louisiana Governor 3640 of 3934 Precincts Reporting
John Bel Edwards 710,760 50%
Eddie Rispone 702,029 50%
NOPE, the turnout is there if you look at the Secretary of State results. The GOP candidate has 100,000 more votes than Dem John Bel Edwards the incumbent governor. He's got a 20% margin of victory. The GOP-friendly votes were there just not voting for Rispone enough.
You sure are enthusiastic with that post. :(

Here’s more ,.Edwards might win rather easily by around 1 percent media will say trump visited 3 times ... it was a rejection of trump..Dems will never stop with impeachment for sure now
Well, I’d take a not so lively R, over a Dem, any day.
Especially after having Trump stump for the guy.
Guess LA sees it differently. :(
Orleans Parish has still only reported 70% of their vote. It is something like 90/10 for Edwards. Nothing can be done. Repubs didn’t work enough in this area. Just like 2018, our President has to do all the heavy lifting and he can’t do everything.
This should tell everyone they need to vote if for no other reason than the Dems certainly are.

Good job cheerleading for the left. Must be an entitlement queen or illegal.....

You’re on a roll.
Your excitment over bad news for Trump just keeps on and on, thread after thread.
We get it.
How much is CNN/DNC paying you to post all of your Trump dread, here on FR? Just curious.
Your post is absolutely correct. It’s the “no-show” Republicans who are killing us.
Du troll.
KY had an unpopular incumbent. Edwards has an approval rating of greater than 50%. If he’s pro-life, hasn’t done anything to upset the voters and the potholes are getting filled and the bridges aren’t falling down, it’s no shock. Disappointing, but no shock.
