Welcome to the Runoff!: LA 2015 Liveblog

[The Other Castro]

2079 of 3945 precincts reporting:

Edwards 38.44%
Vitter 22.83%
Angelle 21.09%
Dardenne 14.67%

Over half of the precincts are now reporting.

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.

Looks like ol' Edwards was only 226 votes away from winning it.

Orleans is starting to report, Baton Rouge still taking a while.

Claiborne, Morehouse, and Saint Charles all finalized for John Bel.

St Charles is quite surprising. This is going to be the bluest map Democrats will see from Louisiana in a long time.

Claiborne, Morehouse, and Saint Charles all finalized for John Bel.

And Caldwell goes for Angelle by a mere 130 votes (Vitter in 2nd).

Edwards may actually win Livingston County. That's right, a county that went 84% Romney.

Vitter 23.18%
Angelle 21.18%

Vitter surge!

[Miles]

Vitter leading in Calcasieu Parish (Lake Charles) should be somewhat worrying for Angelle...

No clue why Strain's victory isn't called yet.

Castro, where are you getting your numbers?

[The_Doctor]

It looks like Vitter won second place, unless there's a surprise in the last 1500 precincts. Which makes this a competitive gubernatorial election. Ugh.

[Torie]

It would be interesting to break out just the today votes versus the early votes. It may be that Vitter's recent bad press pushed his today vote down, and that he might not be carrying it. His 4% lead from the early vote has steadily declined.   

[RI]

I think AoS just majorly messed up their map.

Edit: Fixed now

Edwards lost his pretty map lead

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Edwards may actually win Livingston County. That's right, a county that went 84% Romney.

Probably because there are three major Republican candidates.

[The Other Castro]

2722 of 3945 precincts reporting:

Edwards 38.09%
Vitter 23.06%
Angelle 21.22%
Dardenne 14.69%

[The_Doctor]

Any chance Vitter could lose? He's been up 2% consistently.

[Miles]

Poor Guillory

This is one of my favorite results. Democrats also automatically pick up his Senate seat. Good riddance to that treacherous demagogue.

[Miles]

Basically all of Lafayette is in - we could see Angelle start to plateau or decline now.
