We can all hope he can get enough turnout to beat a Dem in his “old” district, but in a presidential election the turnout will be big.
If he can get in a runoff he could have a shot, but big national money will take ove
Now... what if we had closed primaries for this race?
The final vote would be on election day... with the presidential election turnout.
So if your argument is that he would need a weak turnout December runoff to win... doesn't that mean you should support the jungle primary?

If we had a closed primary and Graves ran in the new sixth district he’d have to first beat all Republicans by a majority vote.
Then when the general election is held he’d have to beat a Dem. If that election is held on the same day as the day we vote for president, it would be hard for him to win. But that’s not how it is currently scheduled. The General election in La. is scheduled in December when turnout is always lower.
