Republican David Vitter and Democrat John Bel Edwards spent a lot of time attacking each other’s record during an hour long televised debate last night. Edwards made the case that Vitter is a very ineffective senator and says if he’s elected governor, he’ll just continue Governor Bobby Jindal’s failed policies.

Vitter claims Edwards is completely misrepresenting his record, when in fact on many occasions he publicly disagreed with Jindal. He says Edwards hasn’t ever stood up against his party leader, President Barack Obama.

The runoff election is November 21st.

Secretary of State Tom Schedler says he’s seeing more participation during early voting in this election than for the primary. Schedler says typically the general election receives less votes than the primary, but numbers are looking good during this early voting period, even though there will be no voting today because of Veteran’s Day.

Schedler says he thinks voters are much more engaged with the runoff election, possibly because the ballot is smaller.
