How many of you turned out to vote in Governor’s race, but not Secretary of State?

I love the people that voted for Governor and we’re just like “frick it” the rest of the ballot

That was the only race the guy driving the bus told me I needed to worry about.

I voted their proxy, but the morale is on TD

There was no fraud, just a massive voter registration and get out the vote effort by Democrats.

That's very common in LA. Party affiliation here means little.

Total Turnout Difference
1,508,612 - 1,468,566 = 40,046

JBE over Rispone Difference
774,476 - 734,136 = 40,340



Im not saying that something seems odd, but something seems odd.

The weirdest part about it is that JBE won by 40,341 votes...and Ardoin got nearly 100,000 more votes than JBE. But, there were 40,046 fewer votes cast in the Secretary of State's race than the Governor's race. The two races were adjacent to each other on the screen. All you have to do is touch a button. You just reach forward and push the button...right after you push the other one.

I wonder if the 40,000 votes by which JBE won just happened to get dead again right after they voted for governor?

I totally trust Orleans Parish to get it right, so there's probably nothing concerning there. EBR has proven to be totally competent, so that's not a concern. Jefferson Parish has never had any shady political issues either over the years.

Anybody else think it's weird coincidence that the Secretary of State's website is down this morning? Maybe the Clinton Foundation's IT team needed to clean up some data for JBE.

Louisiana's voting system is one of the most sophisticated and secure in the country. I know how tempting it is to want fraud as an excuse but it just didn't happen.

Bussing thousands of people to the polls screams sophisticated and secure to me. But I'm deaf, so I don't actually know what screams sound like.

I saw a similar phenomenon in NC in 2016. In one election, the people selected Donald Trump and a Democratic Governor.

Don’t forget there’s also a racist, white, Democrat taxpayer leach voter block in Louisiana who loves a socially conservative, pro-government hand out candidate like John Bel Edwards, but wouldn’t be caught dead voting for a black candidate of any color.

I’d be willing to bet some of that accounts either for less votes in SOS than Governor, and/or votes for Ardoin but also for JBE.

Think of white Francis Thompson voters.
