Welcome to the Runoff!: LA 2015 Liveblog

Oh my Vitter is losing early vote with 12 parishes in so far.

[JerryArkansas]

Almost all of this is early.  No need to make assumptions just yet.  Still telling that with most of it in, Vitter only ahead by 4.

What are the Angelle strongholds versus the Vitter strongholds?

Angelle = Cajun country
Dardenne = Baton Rouge
Vitter = Everywhere else, but especially New Orleans suburbs.

The north is gonna be the area to watch. Voters there are less familiar with Angelle because of the 3 Rs, he's the only one who hasn't previously run statewide.

Speaking of the North, right now it looks like Angelle is third in most if not all of them at this moment.

[JerryArkansas]

Vitters dropping now.  At 22.9 and Anglle at 20.5.  Really close now.  Or a vote margin of 6513.

[JerryArkansas]

But like seriously how is he not leading with >70%

Stop Trolling.

Hate to defend him, but he'll stop when you stop.

I'm not really paying attention to the election result tonight. What I like it the fact that a Democrat went negative, and I mean negative and didn't explode should give all dems across the country a road map for the future. Especially when Vitter was suppose to 3 months ago win this without a runoff with about 50 to 55 percent of the vote.

Miles, in the primary, how far apart were the early vote totals between Orleans and Jefferson?

[JerryArkansas]

^ In terms of votes cast? Both were between 13-14K. Noticeable improvement this time. Jefferson - 17K, Orleans - 21K.

Could that be a sign of things to come tonight?

[JerryArkansas]

I'm looking at East Baton Rouge right now, this is all early vote but damn Edwards up with like 69% of the vote.  Wow.

[JerryArkansas]

Do we know the turnout yet?

Quick back of the envelope calculation show right at 40%
