Don’t expect Julia Letlow and Jamie Davis to be in the same room prior to election day – or after election day, for that matter. Andrew Greenstein explains.

When you look at the state immediately to our west, there have been dozens of polls in Texas’ U.S. Senate race between Ken Paxton and James Talarico. Here in Louisiana between Julia Letlow and Jamie Davis, not so much. In fact, there have only been two publicly-released polls, both commissioned by the Davis campaign – and Davis says they show that despite all pre-race forecasts, he has a chance to pull this off.

Julia Letlow, however, has called those polls “bogus.”

Julia Letlow 1.wav (11) “…by double-digits.”

The only poll that counts is happening now, with early voting going on through Tuesday, and Election Day a week later.

The Louisiana Democratic Party says if Jamie Davis has any hope of beating Julia Letlow, voters in heavily-Democratic New Orleans are going to need a huge turnout. Chief Strategist Sherice Janaye Nelson says with the rest of the state being heavily Republican, the road to victory for any statewide Democratic candidate will always run through New Orleans.

Nelson says in the early going, New Orleans voters were outclassed by their heavily-Republican neighbors across Lake Pontchartrain.

Nelson says shutting down early voting on Sundays, as Louisiana does, is designed to suppress Democratic voter turnout, so she’s urging clergy throughout New Orleans to urge their parishioners to get to the polls.
