337 of 351 cast more votes in the runoff than in the primary. Rispone didn't carry *any* precincts outside of New Orleans East, not even in Lakeview or Uptown.

That looks like graphics you would want to use if you were advocating an electoral college.

It's the change in vote count for party candidate by parish. The left is Dem the right is Repub.

The next time New Orleans floods, let the Democrat Party pump it out.

All the Democratic Party can do is take from producers and give to recipients. Without the producer, the Dems would be extinct.

That red and blue map is bullshite. My precinct went 71/29 for Vitter and 72/28 for Rispone, yet they show us as moving more towards the democrat blue.


How is it New Orleans East went more Republican??? And I'm not referring to the Lake St. Catherine area. Areas just past the airport are pink.

Dem vs Republican votes:




Louisiana crime rates. The lighter the color, the more crime:

That crime map is a clown show. It suggests that Mandeville is nearly as crime ridden as New Orleans.

This'll get downvoted to hell, but if the LA GOP wants to win the next gubernatorial election, it really needs to do better than another Vitter and Rispone. Neither of those two were palatable candidates to the middle 25% of LA voters.

JBE was incredibly beatable, but the GOP gave it to him.

And for the record, I'm MAGA through and through, but the LA GOP just can't stop tripping over its own nutsack.

The LA GOP did not choose Rispone. Voters chose him after he burned down enough of Abraham's base to jump past him.

And a lot of private organizations, state politicians and local parish parties backed Abraham.

Rispone didn't get very many endorsements during the primary and it turns there was a good reason for that.

One thing about the graphs in the OP....

Obama and Hillary won 80% of Orleans Parish in 2008 and 2016. JBE won 90% of Orleans Parish in 2019.

Hillary Clinton won 52% of EBR Parish in 2016. JBE got 66% of EBR Parish in 2019.

Rispone let the democrats go absolutely ape shite there and did not contest them all no matter how small a percentage he may have gotten.

But the thing is that that those small percentages matter and make a difference in the end in close elections and if Rispone could manage to get Orleans Parish to 80-83% Edwards and EBR Parish to like 53-58% Edwards, very good chance Rispone would be Governor-Elect and holding pressers about his transition this morning.

Zero message from rispone concerning infrastructure, energy policy, the need for SMALLER government, etc.... lane Grisby needs to retire and get the heck out of politics. And the hell with LABI while we’re at it. We want government to be cut in half, which would make us a very prosperous state. You want a surplus? Cut government.
