Blanco! Blanco!! Blanco!! Here's hoping Blanco wins... 56% right now.

[Maddy McCall]

to add the photo below.




Louisianians, we are all pulling for you, especially we Mississippians who will be under the thumb of Haley Barbour beginning in 2004.

One question. If Blanco OR Jindal win, would you guys like to trade? We send Haley and Tuck to you for your one Blanco (or Jindal). It's a good trade--you get two for one!

Or would you guys consider annexing SW Mississippi? Where I live is only 15 miles from the state line, anyway! LOL.

Ok, SERIOUSLY, here is the link to the La. Sec of State's office which will have live results on the election.

http://www.sec.state.la.us:8090/cgibin/?rqstyp=elcms2&rqsdta=111503


Right now, Blanco leads with 56% of the vote, with 324 of about 4000 precincts reporting. Looking good for Blanco!

On edit: I thought that was what the 324 was, but there is a different figure for jindal--so I assume that is the actual number of votes.

[karlschneider]

1. Thanks for the link...I assume NO and BR will be among the last to come in

how do they lean?

[Maddy McCall]

3. I am not sure...maybe a New Orleanian will respond?

I know that there are different communities around NO that are highly segregated. West Bank, North Shore, etc. Someone from that area can tell you more.

Not sure about Baton Rouge either. Sorry I can't help.

[Maddy McCall]

9. Here is a link where you can look at all previous election results...

by precinct.

[Some Moran]

2. I can always count on you for results :)

It's not precincts yet though...Just votes...Only about 600 have been counted thus far.

[Maddy McCall]

6. LOL! I care about this--those guys are my neighbors...

and would love to see a WOMAN--a democratic WOMAN--win that race!

[Baconfoot]

Those are votes, not precints - 324 for Blano 252 for Jindal 0 precints nt

[karlschneider]

5. And now it shows zero votes, zero precincts, zero everything...Diebold at

work here?
:grr:

[karlschneider]

4. Uh, I just looked at it again, there are "zero" precincts reporting, which

I assume is less than 1% or however they round off...

[Maddy McCall]

8. WTF??? Good thing you documented the first votes that came in, Karl

Can't WAIT to see what the next results look like, especially since they have now been reset to ZERO!

:mad:

[Some Moran]

7. Oh fuck...

The votes have disappeared. I hope Diebold isn't up to no good.

[burr]

10. anyone know what goobergunch is up to??

I have a feeling we're in for a long night...a veerrry looong night!

I don't know what precincts are reporting right now, so it would be best to temper our enthusiasm, but the trend is good without question. GO BLANCO! :)

[democratreformed]

WBRZ (Baton Rouge) says its rural parishes reporting. Of course some of those could be Acadiana. But now reoporting, as typing, that many of these are N. LA.

Wow. Could be mixed blessing.

Hello fellow Louisiana DUers. Lafayette here. Let us know where you're from.

[ringmastery]

74. what does that mean?

I'm not familiar with Lousiana politics. Are those democratic or republican strongholds?

[Maddy McCall]

87. But North LA is usually very conservative, so it is really a blessing if

that is so! They usually vote Repub.

[ringmastery]

looking good

but again where are these precincts? We shouldn't be setting ourselves up for a huge dissapointment if these early precincts are dem strongholds.

[59millionmorons]

78. Hold on

We dont know what districts that havent been counted yet. Cross your fingers.

[mndemocrat_29]

76. Wooley and Blanco now have over 100,000 votes

Blanco up 15,000
Wooley up 32,000

[ignatiusr]

80. Who knows, though

We have no way of knowing what precincts have reported and what haven't. The vast majority haven't been counted; those that have could just happen to be from a heavily Democratic area.

Fingers still crossed, though.

77. Where are these votes coming from?

Are thy from swing parishes? Dem parishes? Repu. parishes? I remember the Landrieu race last year, when Terrell was ahead up until 50% of the precinct reports.

Enlighten me LA DUers.

[ronzo]

82. I'll let you know when I know...

conflicting results with a couple of local stations. Things are kinda hinkey.

[burr]

90. I explained before...and I will do so again.

The gender gap is the decisive factor in this race. These votes for Blanco are coming from married people who lie about who they vote for, especially when the person they love most votes differently!

And the pollsters are unlikely to get an accurate answers under these circumstances!

[ronzo]

85. 18% in

Blanco 53%
