So 30,000 more people voted in NOLA for governor than mayor in 2017

There wasn't a lot of difference between the mayoral candidates and none of them were promising to basically turn the city into a prison camp, so the mayoral election wasn't that big a deal. Rispone shot himself in the foot by targeting New Orleans and hoping there were enough resentful rednecks so dumb that they're afraid of the city and hate it to outnumber the voters in the state's only real population center. It's like no one told him that he'd have to be governor of the city, too. Whoops.

They had to cheat to beat Rispone.



Let that stew.
