Louisiana Election Results (Updated)
[Guest post by DRJ]
Louisiana voters went to the polls today to vote for Governor and other state and local offices. The media suggests Republican Bobby Jindal is the favorite but it’s unknown whether he can garner more than 50% of the vote and avoid a runoff.
Click (more) to see results, which will be updated as they come in.
Very early results (as I write this just 14 out of 3,967 precincts have reported) have Jindal-R with 61% of the gubernatorial vote. The only close race is for Lt. Governor in which Democrat Mitch Landrieu led 45%-42%-12% over Republicans Sammy Kershaw and Gary J. Beard. Republicans are competitive or leading in other state-wide races. It looks like Louisiana may be a two-party state.
I’ll update this as the returns come in and feel free to alert me in the comments as more results come in.
Update 1: With 155 precincts reporting, Jindal-R leads with 57%. Next is Walter J. Boasso-D with 17% followed by Foster Campbell-D with 13% and John Georges-N with 11%. A number of candidates round out the field.
Update 2: 375 precincts reporting and Jindal’s lead is down to 53% with Boasso (18%), Campbell (14%), and Georges (12%) trailing.
Update 3: with 632 precincts reporting, Jindal is at 52%, Boasso at 19%, Campbell at 15%, and Georges at 12%.
Update 4: Here’s a map of election results by parish. The returns page isn’t loading or loads slowly, probably as results are updated. I’ll try to update once it’s online.
Update 5: Thanks to Dusty (and to other intrepid election reporters), we were among the first to know that Bobby Jindal is the winner of the Louisiana governor’s race and won’t face a runoff. Mitch Landrieu was elected Lt. Governor, Jay Dardenne returns as Secretary of State, and the Attorney General’s race is a runoff. Final numbers will be posted in Update 6 when available.
Update 6: Final numbers reported just after Midnight with all 3967 precincts reporting. Thanks, Scott.

Good work, Dusty. I hope you don’t mind updating us on this because I can’t access the Secretary of State’s election results website.

Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 6:57 pmBy the way, the Times of India is following this election closely, no doubt because Jindal is the son of Indian immigrants.

Dusty,
Given the apparent overload on the Secretary of State’s website, my guess is the map is the least of their worries.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:20 pmLocal news in Monroe is reporting Jindal at 53%
Fred (ebaca2) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:21 pmYou would think the SS would of made allowances for the high traffic to their site……
Rayan (05271b) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:22 pmThe page is likely slow because of all the people checking the results…
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:23 pmI guess they didn’t realize how interested people are in this election and especially in Bobby Jindal.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:24 pmdoh! late in posting that.
I don’t think they thought the entire country would be wanging their servers…

It is getting a little slower. I may need to try a different diebold key! 🙂
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:27 pmYou’ve made it longer than anyone, Dusty, and you’re still ahead of the online newspaper sites. My guess is there isn’t anything else to report right now. Does anyone know what parishes/precincts haven’t reported yet?
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:30 pmI’ll check it by parish when the page refreshes for me…

Greetings from Appalachian KY… according to the latest SoS #’s:
3,468 of 3,967 precincts reporting (and Jindal still at 53%)
Cyberhillbilly (c2cf28) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:35 pmI didn’t notice the “By Parish” link. I’ll try that too.
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:36 pmLatest from WWL-TV: Election analyst Greg Rigamer projects Bobby Jindal as next governor, Mitch Landrieu as re-elected as Lieutenant Governor and Jay Dardenne as re-elected as Secretary of State.
Cyberhillbilly (c2cf28) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:38 pmProjections show that St. Bernard Parish President Junior Rodriguez has narrowly made it into a runoff against Craig Taffaro.
You folks are a great bunch of election reporters.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:39 pmCampbell and Georges have both announced Jindal as the winner.

3,559 of 3,967 precincts reporting and still at 53… looks like this one’s over. Congrats to Louisianna. Come up to KY for some lessons on what to avoid with the election of a Governor who promises change. (Hint: Follow through on your promises and don’t try to out-dim the Dems.)
Cyberhillbilly (c2cf28) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:42 pmDusty,
I was curious if the New Orleans area precincts had reported but I’m not sure it matters now. It seems it’s all over but the crying (at least for the losers).
Your numbers are still better than anything else I can find, and I can’t think you enough for the time you spent on this.
Congratulations to Jindal enthusiasts. As a Texan, I look forward to Jindal’s administration and good things for Louisiana.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:45 pmAllen is 30 of 30
Washington is 41 of 41
I don’t know where any of these are, but the small # of precincts must mean rural ones.
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:45 pmWhat are the NO parishes?
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:47 pmHow’s the Attorney General race? Looked like a 3-way tie on the last numbers I saw.
gguillotte (668382) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:49 pmHow do the rural precincts typically vote – Republican, Democrat or mixed?
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:49 pmI suspect Democrat
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:49 pmAcadia, 59 of 59

The AG is a runoff between Caldwell-D (35%) and either Alexander-R (32.3%) or Foti-I (32.2%), but Alexander and Foti are so close it’s hard to call.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:51 pmWhoa. It loaded lightning fast that time…

gguillotte (668382) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:53 pmJindal has held steady most of the night at 53%. That may mean he has widespread support throughout the state. The big blank (compared to other precincts) seems to be East Baton Rouge. This is dumb question but is East Baton Rouge different than Baton Rouge?

The numbers for the respective candidates looked about the same as the state wide numbers, DRJ.
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:57 pmSt. Tammany and Terrebonne are comparatively underreported, too. That’s New Orleans and Houma, right?
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:57 pmYou have East Baton Rouge, West Baton Rouge and Baton Rouge
Fred (ebaca2) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:59 pmThanks, Fred. I assume they are near each other. Are they pretty similar in the makeup of their population?
What an interesting election. Now what does this mean for Louisiana?
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 7:59 pmCampbell took Bienville 39 to 34. Must be his home Parish?

Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:11 pmNow the AP is reporting that Jindal won.

Once Fox News reports it, it will all become a vast, evil conspiracy… 🙂
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:13 pmNow I’m seeing 2,500 between Foti and Alexander, but there’s still 8 percent out… what a race. That’s going to be the big story in the state.

Nah, the
Paul (d71395) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:14 pmVoice of GodAP’s already reporting it.Well Jindal took the early slow East Baton Rouge with 54%.
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:15 pmWest Baton Rouge for Jindal with 52%. This and EBR would be the Capitol area right?
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:18 pmyeah, looks like Jindal’s got this one…
LA dodges a bullet…
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:19 pmYes EBR is Baton Rouge..while WBR is on the west bank of the river
Virgle (6fc896) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:20 pmThanks Virgle. That seems like a good sign for Jindal if he garnered the majority in the Capitol area, too.
Dusty (e28a9f) — 10/20/2007 @ 8:22 pmBasically the people have realized the mistake they made 4 years ago…4 more years of corruption followed by the complete debacle of Katrina/Rita recovery. Jindal has promised after taking the oath of office to call a special legislative session to deal with nothing but complete ethics reform for the state…At last.

For the AG race, first they have to recount (2nd place is too close, and then the new ballot…
But nicely done AL…
Scott Jacobs (a1de9d) — 10/20/2007 @ 9:13 pmWow. Look at this map that shows the winner by parish.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 10:01 pmDRJ, I can’t say I know enough about LA state politics to follow the details on the map although I’ll click it in a second just to see the pretty colors… but this is a great day for that states’ citizens I am sure. Congratulations to Mr. Jindal. Hopefully he succeeds at his job for the next several years and who knows? The ROC could use some up and comers.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 10/20/2007 @ 10:03 pmThose ARE pretty colors.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 10/20/2007 @ 10:04 pmGood comment, Christoph, and I think Jindal is a GOP up-and-comer. This election will certainly get him noticed.
DRJ (67ced6) — 10/20/2007 @ 10:08 pmYes, I can’t believe I said “ROC”.
Christoph (92b8f7) — 10/20/2007 @ 10:33 pmRedstate has an outstanding running blog from last night. Truly an historic night!

This one was in the bag for Jindal from the beginning. Everyone wanted him for Governor the first time but he got nailed by a really good attack ad at the last minute. After seeing Kathleen Blanco speaking in public a few times, which somehow should never have been allowed if possible, NOLA’s voters sent Jindal to Washington by way of a sheepish apology (you want a REAL mandate? Try 80+ percent of the vote). If anyone can get things going in LA (and not just New Orleans, the rest of the state isn’t the most properous either) it would be him.
EdWood (9f0c0f) — 10/21/2007 @ 6:53 amHow could anyone vote for Caldwell over Alexander? Anyone who has watched the debate on the WDSU website knows that not only should caldwell not be our next AG, the man should never hold a position that relflect this state. The man couldnt even answer simple yes or no questions during the debate. He would simply reply, “huh, I dont knowwww.” The man gave the same answer for every question he was asked. there is nothing new or refreshing about buddy caldwell, and all louisianians need to realize that if we want this state better, stop supporting ignorant sounding politicians.
David (93d5d6) — 10/21/2007 @ 9:01 amIt is truly unfortunate, and the people of LA (& the New Orleans area particularly) have paid a tremendous price, because this result has been delayed by four years.
One can only hope that this ushers in a new era in LA politics.
I wonder if Ray Nagin will now re-register as a Republican?
Another Drew (8018ee) — 10/21/2007 @ 1:29 pm“The REASON Bobbi Jhindahl won as Governor of Louisiana is because our previous Governor, Mrs. Blanco, was exactly that….she was an air-head spoiled brat…no sign of intelligence.
Josie Parent (251f83) — 10/22/2007 @ 8:30 amSo certain “hefties” pushed the Indian Boy into the spotlight and into our face…and everybody jumped on his bandwagon with him and his Parents, Wife, and Kids saying…”BUT, HE IS SO SMART”..!!!
So what….but look at his years of age, and look at where he is from, and look at the thugs who are going to be backing this kid up!!!!!!
a…a.hhh..eeeeeeee “can he make that cajun yell?”
