a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Further, Sherrill ended up winning the city of Garfield by 21% (60% to 39%), a result made significant by the Trump voting mayor switching party registration from the Dems to the GOP and endorsing Ciattarelli in a much publicized endorsement ceremony in early September.

Pretty crazy, because Murphy himself was not all that popular himself, and Ciatterelli was seen a strong candidate. I expected it to not be as close as 2021, but this was at the very upper end of possibilities I had forseen IMO
