Louisiana Election Turnout Thread- Here come the results

Tell us how crowded/not crowded it was when you went to vote!

Did you see voter fraud and what is the talk about exit polling and the possible outcome?

[kms61]

Union is a small parish...probably won't have much effect. Lake Charles (Calcasieu) is a big refinery/chemical town...think unions. Jefferson should go heavy for Terrell. Not sure which way Lafayette will swing. My guess is for Terrell, but not by much.

[GreatOne]

hell, catholics all use birth control.

Not to pick a fight on a crappy night like this, but no, we don't. If you do, you're not Catholic - birth control other than condoms and a few others are nothing more than abortifacients to begin with. Again, any "Catholic" who wouldn't vote for Terrell because of abortion and birth control is nothing more than a CINO - not Catholic at all.

[DownWithGreenspan]

Voters don't like their candidates ugly.

But apparently they do in New York senate races. SOOO-EEEEEEEE!!!!1

For those with access to county-by-county results (particularly ones which list how many precincts are out), could you post your results with notes as to how many precincts have yet to report in Calcasieu, Jefferson, Orleans, and St. Tammany Parishes?

One can say "oh, Landrieu is ahead and there must be more Orleans Parish votes to come in", but if there are still Jefferson Parish votes to come in, then it's not as bad as it seems.

From the 2000 race, which Bush won by 8%, Bush won Calcasieu Parish by about 6%. He won Jefferson by 20%. He won St. Tammany by 45%. He lost Orleans by over 40%. That should give an indication how precincts yet to report in will vote (knock 8% off Bush's margin to project Terrell). And that will give a picture as to how this thing will end up.

[Tex_GOP_Cruz]

>That's good news if St. Tammany is still out.

Advantage Landrieu I think but maybe it's not over yet. This is a few minutes old, pcts reporting. Of these Caddo was a tie in 2000, Orleans was 76% Gore, the rest are GOP:

Orleans 210/442
Bossier 27/55
Caddo 66/152
E. Baton Rouge 176/298
Jefferson 0/261 !!!
Lafayette 0/111
St. Tammany 22/131

Nothing can change the fact that Terrell is a butt-ugly Arab.

You reprehensible cur!

You ought to be banned for a statement like that!

And whipped.

[section9]

The only problem, as Torie pointed out, is that Terrell is underperforming the Bushman in a big way. Weak!

Still possible to pull this out. Nice to see that our parishes held back.

Be Seeing You,

[FireTrack]

I'm pretty sure we're gonna lose this one. If only we could have gotten some of the rain we had earlier.

Oh well, life goes on... ;-)

[Diddle E. Squat]

Just another reason to cut back on sugar in the diet!

[Mudbug]

Good question.

Not looking good here...89% in and 542k for Landrieu and 524k for Terrell. I wish we knew which parishes were still out.

[Tennessean4Bush]

51-49 Land leads, 2,756 of 3,912 precincts reporting (73%)

[VOA]

Landrieu is strong all over the state. It is incredible that she is not yet in the lead.

Call me a cynic, but Landrieu's victory was sealed by what happened in the November
election in South Dakota.
All the Dems have to do is wait...wait...wait...and come up with the last
reported votes.

That way they can assure that they will end up with more votes.

And since their last reported precincts/parishes will be from areas that are
populated predominantly by "people of color", the Republican will be cowed into accepting
the result.

I hope I'm wrong about this.
But if Landrieu ends up winning by less than a percentage point,
mostly on the last reported precincts...
I'll simply have my cynicism re-inforced.

Things could be worse. Landrieu could be someone that DU likes.

[FF578]

3502 of 3912 Precincts 90%

Mary Landrieu (I) 542,801 51%

Suzanne Terrell 526,248 49%

Any more news on the Fletcher/Alexander race?
