If she gets criminally charged will there be another run-off?
If so can we get residents of say a town in Nebraska or something like that to pick the next mayor. NOLA residents will just frick it up in perpetuity.

Perhaps. It would also give her something in common with a large segment of her voters.

I don't know why this comes as a shock to anyone.
Y'all 'member when William Jefferson was under indictment and he still got elected? Man had like $75,000 in his freezer and he still won the vote.
It was well documented Cantrell had some issues with public funds and credit cards, and she still got elected.
Nothing ever changes. As Frank Davis would say, "That's Naturally N'awlins!"

Nope.
If she's not convicted before she is to take office, she'll take office. If she is convicted and can't take office or is removed New Orleans' vacancy law kicks in.
In New Orleans, what happens if the mayor's office is ever vacant for any reason is dependent on how long is left in the term. If there is less than one year left in the term, the City Council elects one of the at-large members to finish out the term as mayor and that member's council seat remains vacant until it can be filled according to New Orleans' laws.
If there is more than one year left in the term, the council elects one of the at-large members to serve as acting mayor until a special election can be held to fill the vacancy. The special election must be held on the earliest election day after the vacancy occurs that the state election laws allow for. The council seat is not vacant, but the council member serving as acting mayor can't do the duties of both offices. When the new mayor takes office to finish out the term, the councilmember goes back to being a councilmember.
