There were 100 District 2 precincts in Jefferson Parish. Cao's 4597 vote margin of victory in those 100 precincts overcame his loss by 2771 in 392 precincts in Orleans Parish.

What does that say about Jefferson Parish?

It says, as Jefferson himself said when he spoke at the after-party, that very few people in Orleans Parish bothered to vote. He won easily in the primary, when mass numbers of people turned out (which was also the Presidential election on Nov. 4th). But this was a tiny ballot, people were burned out on voting, and they got complacent and didn’t bother to vote. So he lost.
