Do we have a legitimately elected Louisiana governor

With the massive election audits active around the country, and recognizing Louisiana uses the same voting machines under scrutiny, who really believes JBE beat Vitter and Rispone in this deep red state?

Same with other "red" states.
It defies logic, same with other elections we've had recently.

Louisiana has never once, even for a minute, been a traditional red state.
We’re the nation’s preeminent social welfare state and have been for a century.

We are not deep red. We are a socially conservative with a fiscally communist electorate. Also, our Republicans are the most fickle, easy to piss off group of voters in any state.
Lastly, frick JBE!

Maybe, but possibly not. That 2019 election was surrounded by all manner of shady f$&kery

Rispone is lucky that he lost by as little as he did. A more seasoned pol could have possibly beaten Edwards. That being said, if I am a Republican organizer, I would be concerned about Jefferson Parish. In 15 years you will have a majority minority electorate.

At this point, the only thing I'm worried about is preventing a repeat of 2015 for the 2023 election.
I'm already seeing today's Louisiana GOP politicians taking up familiar roles from 2015 and it scares the shite out of me.

Rispone ran one of the most incompetent, tone deaf and sloppiest campaigns I have ever seen in my life.
And that was entirely preventable had he chosen to hire real Louisiana politicos who understand that politics is a relationship business in this state but no, he chose to hire out of state carpetbagger consultants who grifted big time and wasted his money on a tone deaf Trump fanboy shtick.
Rispone had potential to be a great candidate capable of winning by a comfortable margin but he instead acted like a bad candidate and got the results bad candidates typically get.

If you have absolutely no clue about past and current Louisiana politics, then side, I can see how you might subscribe to the stolen election/Dominion theory.
But to those who have paid attention for a long time, it’s pretty obvious how JBE could have legitimately won. The hardcore leftists who always vote Democrat in the national races were never going to vote for Vitter or Eddie in the 2015 or 2019 runoff, and at the same time JBE was the ideal Democrat to get the votes of the rural, white social conservative Democrats in Louisiana who vote GOP in national races.
Had it been a black Democrat vs Vitter or Eddie, many of those old time rural votes that went for JBE would have gone GOP. It’s the old Edwin Edwards white voting block.
But I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for explaining reason rather than agreeing that tens of thousands of voting machines changed votes for Edwards.

Completely agree.
His campaign was solely “I love Trump, and Trump loves me.”

I wonder what a rematch of Vitter vs JBE and Rispone vs JBE would look like for this bloc of voters after a year and a half of JBE's covid tyranny and pandering to national democrats on climate change, LGBT issues, and so on.
Those same people foolishly kept insisting for years that JBE is not so bad and he's actually a conservative dixiecrat.
The evidence told otherwise but they didn't want to believe it. They want the conservative dixiecrats back so bad and JBE is nothing more than a mirage.

Jeff Landry is going to go scorched earth on his GOP opponents. I can just sense it. Even the ones who align closely with him politically.

I wouldn't mind that at all if I knew for a fact that Louisiana GOP voters are capable of taking the L and making the correct choice in the runoff like people in other states do.
But for two cycles in a row, they have demonstrated they are not sensible, rational, pragmatic and transactional enough to do that.
Those voters can't be trusted so yeah, I'm scared shitless of a possible repeat of 2015.
