Marc EliasGUEST
Yeah, I'm glad you mentioned that because, you know, I've done more recounts and election contests and counts than any any other lawyer, not just the 60 plus cases for Joe Biden.
Marc EliasGUEST
I mean, I go all the way back to Mary Landrieu's election contest that she won in 1996, Harry Reid in 1998 and afterwards.
Marc EliasGUEST
And we're now at a margin.
Marc EliasGUEST
of, you know, as you just put up, just under 2,500 votes, which is, by the way, still growing, right? I mean, one of the things you always look at in the post-election is which side is gaining as these last, what they call affidavit ballots in Mississippi, but in the rest of the country, you can think of them as provisional ballots.
Dana BashHOST
25,000 votes.
Dana BashHOST
I mean, when we first started covering the Senate, it was John Breaux and Mary Landrieu.
Dana BashHOST
And so it wasn't that surprising that there was a Democrat recently.
Dana BashHOST
Very surprising.
Dan PfeifferHOST
Yeah, it's fascinating to compare it to what the majority looked like the last time we had this many senators, like in the 2008 period.
Dan PfeifferHOST
It's more diverse in terms of background and ethnicity and gender and everything else, but a little more ideologically coherent than when we had – Mary Landrieu, and we had two senators in the Dakotas.
Dan PfeifferHOST
Everyone's a

little more of
Jim EngsterHOST
And it is an amazing turnaround from what's been happening in recent vintage in statewide politics and in races for the United States Senate.
Jim EngsterHOST
The last time we had an election this close was Mary Landrieu's victory over Woody Jenkins 30 years ago.
Jim EngsterHOST
With us to talk about it and more is Congressman Cleo Fields, who, as we know, has been around the block a few times.
Jim EngsterHOST
And it all started for him in 1987 when he was elected to the state Senate when he was still in his 20s.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
Second thing you need to know, Congresswoman Julia Letlow won election to the U.S. Senate for the state of Louisiana, beating Democrat candidate Jamie Davis 51 to 49 percent.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
It was the closest Louisiana Senate election since Democrat Mary Landrieu beat Republican Woody Jenkins by less than one percentage point in 1990.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
Letlow replaces Republican incumbent Bill Cassidy, who she beat in the Republican primary earlier this year.
Louis R. AvalloneHOST
However, Davis refused to concede the race Tuesday night, claiming it was too close to call.
Jim EngsterHOST
And before we get to Mark, here is Jamie Davis, who ran perhaps...
Jim EngsterHOST
The campaign for the ages, certainly of the 21st century, his campaign with the resources and the inherent power problems that people are having running as Democrats statewide, and he got 49.1% of the votes and lost by just 25,587, closest Senate race in Louisiana since 1996 when Mary Landrieu beat Woody Jenkins by 5,788 votes.
Jim EngsterHOST
Here is Farmer Davis on the stump, the last time in this campaign at the Baton Rouge Hilton on Tuesday night, actually early morning hours of Wednesday morning.

Because like my guy says, I'm only looking for good trouble.
DestinyHOST
Wednesday's charges are not the first legal entanglement for Mr. O'Keefe, who is the founder of Project Veritas, a right-wing investigative outlet known for hidden camera stunts.
DestinyHOST
In 2010, he was charged with posing as a telephone repairman to enter the office of then-Senator Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat.
DestinyHOST
He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges and received three years of probation.
DestinyHOST
In 2013, he was investigated by New Hampshire's attorney general on suspicion of identifying himself at polling places using names of dead people to see if he could receive a ballot, but charges were never filed.
William CooperHOST
I recognize your voice.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
Okay, let me fill you in on a comparison to an election that was held in Louisiana in 1996 between Woody Jenkins and Mary Landrieu.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
Do you remember those details?
speaker_2AUDIENCE
No, I don't.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
All right.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
Mary Landrieu, as you know, is now in the U.S. Senate.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
But there was the same kind of question concerning fraud in the election of 1996 when Woody Jenkins questioned the results of the election.
speaker_7AUDIENCE
My eyewitness, Leo Champagne, who participated in the recount, pointed out that the recounts were done in time for getting the evidence to the court.
Alan ArmstrongGUEST
I would tell you though, I think to your question around messaging, there's a group that we started years ago, probably now four or five years ago, that was moderate left-based.
Alan ArmstrongGUEST
So we went to Senator Mary Landrieu, we went to Tim Ryan, We went to a lot of moderate Dems because we know having a pipeline CEO telling people they need natural gas in their market is not all that effective at moving people on that, particularly in the Northeast.
Alan ArmstrongGUEST
But this group, and it's called Natural Allies, has done an amazing job of educating the mayors of a lot of the big urban areas, and really convincing them that the reason your price is getting driven up, because listen, they don't understand this.
Alan ArmstrongGUEST
Like to us on this call, this is super simple.
