Wait there’s more democrats?
Do most of independent voters vote republican? Do more of democrat voters not vote?

Not saying there was fraud, as I did not follow any of the fraud accusations. But, the complaints were JBE beat Rispone in the runoff by ~40k votes. 165k more people voted in the runoff than the first round when it was reported that many of the Abraham voters stayed home. And if I recall correctly, there were a lot fewer races on the ballot in November, than October. Majority of the November ballot was runoffs.


If you look at the SOS link i posted on Page 2 for the runoff results where we voted for Governor and SOS in 2019 and add up the total votes for Gov and do the same for SOS you'll see that 40,051 more people voted for Gov than they did for SOS. Again, that's really close to the number of registered voters you mentioned that are gone since.

I've mentioned this figure a couple of times before on here and some responded 'that's not a lot'. 40K votes seems like a lot to me.

I find it more likely that the number of "gone" voters is made up since 1) they don't even add up to the total and 2) they conveniently include 0 independents which make up almost 1/3 of all voters in La.

I suppose when you look at it as 40k voters vs 3M voters, you can make an argument that it isn't a lot. But when it's 40k voters, and the difference in the results is 40k; that is a huge number.

This people who registered in other states or is this people who are officially marked as dead / inactive after X voting cycles?

The Voting Rights Act made purging the rolls here a fricking shite show even if someone cleared movies, died, or hasnt bothered to give a frick in a decade.
