It's not like he could sabotage the GOP to get Edwin elected. All it might do is slightly effect which GOP candidate makes the runoff. In a race in a state with a different primary system, I could see this being a problem, but not in Louisiana.

When people ask questions like this, it leads me to believe they don't understand Louisiana laws and elections. (Not trying to single you out, but just something I see brought up quite a bit).
Louisiana has open primaries. The GOP/conservative voters tend to complain about the structure and would rather go back to closed primaries, and there's certainly some merit to that argument.
However, one of the things about LA open primaries is that someone like this Libertarian candidate can jump into the race, and if he doesn't make it into the Top 2, he's gone. No vote-splitting in the runoff. Just EWE vs GOP candidate. One or the other.
So I welcome his candidacy. I just hope his campaign and supporters don't huff and puff and sit home if he's not on the ballot in the final round. Unless they'd turn-coat and vote for the felon. Then they ought to find something better to do on the runoff election day.
