In the LA primary this past weekend, there were more democratic voters than Rep.

According to Louisiana Secretary of State data, Democrats narrowly outpaced Republicans in turnout Saturday, with 1,073,370 Democrats, or 36.2 percent, casting ballots compared to 1,053,102 Republicans, or 35 percent.
The thinking was that the election with Cassidy on the ballot, would be heavily in favor of Republicans. Instead Democratic voters were highly motivated, especially in the NOLA area.

All five constitutional amendments failed, including measures dealing with permanent teacher pay raises and raising the retirement age for judges, defeats Couvillon attributed to elevated Democratic turnout and an age-old voter skepticism toward amendments.
"Those two forces combined to cause the amendments to go down in overwhelming defeat," Couvillon said. "There wasn't really any kind of picking and choosing. It was very basically a — I would describe it as a block vote of five nos, which is voting no on every single amendment, regardless of the merits or lack thereof of each individual amendment."

There are more registered Ds in La than Rs.

Democrats literally frick up everything they touch.

Not according to the article, 54-46 Republican advantage

There are a boat load of people registered as Democrat that vote right. There is a whole demographic of 60+ year olds that are former union guys and have never re-registered.

They appear to have used their turnout machine, which tends to get pretty costly.
I guess having a symbolic win against Landry beats pretending to be competitive in the House or Senate races

That fricking shithole is dead weight.
I guess 4Cubbies was right.

That's interesting since the article said-

Though Republicans made up 54 percent of Senate primary voters and Democrats 46 percent, he said many Democratic voters were motivated primarily by opposition to the measures.

Anyone not registered as a party member got the choice of voting in the R or D primaries.
A good chunk of D-leaning individuals in EBR and Orleans chose the R primary to vote for Cassidy.

The article I linked doesn’t say that.

So more Inds chose to vote in the Rep. primary than the Democratic primary. That make sense.

And now they'll get to vote in the runoff as well.
Also, "No Party" is different from "Independent" in La

They CAN vote in the runoff but I don’t think they will like either choice.
They were praying Cassidy made it to the runoff and that they could find a way to drag his carcass over the finish line. He didn’t even make it that far thanks to Fleming.

Is there a way to see that breakdown?
Rumored around Lafayette is that a big chunk of D-leaning individuals in Lafayette voted for Letlow.
The runoff is going to be interesting. I bet turnout is going to be abysmal.

Don’t believe so.
I inferred it out of Cassidy only winning two parishes, which were Orleans and EBR. Both have large Democrat machines even if not all individuals turning out for them are registered Dems.

Maybe some of those people will vote for Fleming out of spite for Landry, but I doubt many will bother to vote.

There are, but enough vote R to keep the state firmly Republican. It's a holdover by older generations who came up when the default in the state was to be a Democrat.

your LA Pollster article is poorly written or they are stupid. Do those morons actually think that 1,073,370 people voted in the election on a democrat ballot? for that to be true, there must be 700,000 Mail-in ballots because that is what is missing from what is actually shown on secretary of state's webpage. do the math yourself.
344,751 voted for US senator on the Democratic Party - the reported 1,073,370 "casting ballots" = 728,619 mail-in ballots.

There was so much confusion at my polling place. My husband didn’t get to vote for anyone in the primary.
