Not necessarily. Some people don’t vote for down ballot races. They don’t think they matter as much. Yeah, it’s stupid. But that’s how some voters are.

So what likely happened is a lot of Democrats came out to vote for Bel Edwards and then left the rest of the ballot blank.

Same thing happens in presidential election years. Congress ALWAYS gets less total voters than the presidential race.

Thanks
I understand. But I trust very little especially when I see things that make one go hmmmm...maybe I am biased from what I've seen and therefore skeptical.
I come from an old RAT Chicago semi-political family, where they sat on the river wards votes (among others) until they could figure out what they needed.
I know, different time, different equipment, - same shenanigans...
