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.

It is too early. This is just a small morale booster. The tide can change.
8:00...........9:00 EST
Not good news .. I am comparing the oct 12th results to what Edwards had in the oct primary to today’s results so far in the smaller rural counties ...and he is running 5 to 7 points ahead of his oct numbers
That is concerning.
Good grief....are you here bearing more ‘concern’?
Give it a rest.
Let’s stay positive, for goodness sakes.
The colors are confusing....?????????
Results a little faster & with a map at this site

It is early and Edwards will do very well in New Oleans and Baton Rouge. If I were a betting man I would bet on Edwards who has governed conservatively. Also he seems to have had better TV ads. I am over in Mississippi but I visit a lot. The wild card is how much these impeachment hearings have fired up conservatives to get out and vote. Maybe a lot. Edwards had a slight leed in the polls going in.
Go stick your head deeper in the sand.
The numbers are what they are. If they are negative, then deal with it.
There has never been an election returns thread here that didn’t have somebody posting all the dims talking points they can dig up......so annoying......but, the puke usually gets the much craved attention.
Pearl clutchers and trolls are always around
Like usual the rats strongest parish , Orleans, hasn’t report anything yet
Agree.
They sure show their colors.
LOL!!
Great posr!
IMO, it all comes down to Trump”s influence.

John Bel Edwards (DEM)
46%
225,473 Eddie Rispone (REP), but N.O., B.R. and Shreveport still give Edwards the edge.
