I made a spreadsheet with the primary results, and am comparing those to tonight’s election as the results come in.
As of right now, Vitter has 53% of the reported vote in Jefferson Parish.
In the primary, the 3 R candidates got a combined 63% of that vote.
Not good, indeed.
It ain’t happening. My quick math tells me that Vitter need to get 65% or 70% of the remaining votes.
Top 4 parishes in the primary with the most votes cast were East Baton Rouge, Jefferson, Orleans, and St. Tammany. EBR went 51% Dem, Orleans went 76% Dem. Those 2 parishes have only reported about 1/3 of their votes so far tonight. Jefferson is not producing as it should, and St. Tammany doesn’t have the numbers. Unfortunately, I think this is over.
