Welcome to the Runoff!: LA 2015 Liveblog

AP projects 1st slot for Edwards!

[MT Treasurer]

AP projects Tom Schedler (R) as winner in the Secretary of State race. He currently leads 65-35.

[Miles]

Expect Edwards to be above 40 when all said and done - New Orleans has barely reported.

Possible, but I've heard Orleans turnout was awful. He's getting 83% though, which is better than Obama. We'll see.

Baton Rouge is also mostly out - should help Edwards and Dardenne.

[RI]

If Vitter maintains his margin in Jefferson, I can't see him not making the runoff.

It would be a very pretty map if Edwards picks up Bossier, La Salle, Caldwell, and Sabine but everything else stays the same.

Vitter just up by 1 now!!

John Bel Edwards (D)   39.16%   171032
Scott A. Angelle (R)   21.14%   92318
"Jay" Dardenne (R)   14.39%   62826
David Vitter (R)    22.25%   97186

[ElectionsGuy]

Looks like northern part of the state and Acadania are more reported than the eastern part of the state. So, Vitter still looks like a clear favorite for a runoff to me.

Vitter's barely a point above now. 22.25-21.14 @ 21:01:06.523

Coming in quite fast now. Looks like a lot of Jefferson just came in.

Looks like West Carroll has just become the first one to finish and has (surprisingly) chosen Angelle.

I believe in you Vitter!

Fox 8 has called the Secretary of State race for Schedler.

[Negusa Nagast 🚀]

Let's all take a moment to laugh at the incumbent Lt. Governor, who is coming in 4th tonight.

La Salle and Saint Bernard Parishes have just finalized for Vitter.

La Salle and Saint Bernard Parishes have just finalized for Vitter.

Interesting - there's been huge pro- D demographic change since Katrine in St. Bernard. Even Landrieu carried it in 2014. Back in the 1990's, it was >65% for David Duke.
