Live Election Results: Louisiana
CNN ^ | 3/24/2012

Posted on 03/24/2012 6:01:54 PM PDT by icwhatudo

When To Start Watching: Polls will close for the Louisiana Republican primary at 8 p.m. CDT (9 p.m. EDT). Results will begin to come in around 8:30 p.m. CDT.

What's At Stake: Twenty of the state's 46 delegates are up for grabs Saturday, divided proportionately among all candidates who receive more than 25 percent of the vote in the state. Louisiana hosts a closed primary, meaning only registered Republicans may vote for the four candidates in the GOP contest.

where’s a page with the full results? It’s because there’s about 1,000 or so votes for other candidates not in the race (Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Johnson, etc)

I don’t know if he stays in. He has said he would, but 16% is pretty low. I’m so sad.

Congrats to the Santorum supporters, btw.

To give credit where it’s due, the Huffington post has a real time map, by parish. Just put your mouse pointer over the parish for their results:

Drudge gave Mittens more press for winning islands than he is giving Santorums huge win in LA.

It still might be close—150 of 366 in from Orleans. Santorum is getting killed there (only about 25% of the vote) but there are less than 3200 votes total between the 150 precincts.

Refresh the CNN Map (It wasn’t automatically loading)

Orleans is the only place Romney is winning in the state right now. Only about 5,000 total votes will come out of here. I think there’s enough outstanding in the rest of the state for Santorum to stay above 50%

So how do these rules work? I had heard if a candidate got over 50% they got all the delegates. Your analysis does not show that, BCrago66no. Instead, it’s proportional for anyone who garners 25% of the vote, right?

70 percent reporting. Santorum still at 49%. He has to break 50% to get all the Delegates.

At this pace, Rick is doing even better than Huckabee from 2008

Any good news on upcoming WI?

I was just thinking the same thing.

He has one small link, if this were Romney he’d have all sirens and top links devoted to it.

Disgusting.

How is Wisconsin looking?

Interesting comments in this L.A. Times piece. A common thread among many voters, they preferred Gingrich but think he can’t win, so they voted for Santorum. And another one, the people who voted for Mitt Romney didn’t know why they did it (!). GOP-E and RINO media mind control power of suggestion I wager. Seems like most of the Romney voters interviewed were female, and one said they voted for him because he was better-looking than the others.

And several said they liked Newt Gingrich, but didn’t vote for him in the end because they believed he can’t win the nomination.

But Bucher said he had preferred Gingrich for his intelligence, conservative values, leadership skills and political experience. Now, however, he said he believed the former House speaker should exit. “I think he’s got too much baggage and he just cannot make up the gap,” he said.

Wayne Softley, 56, who works as a rigging grip in movie production, also said his first choice was Gingrich, but he thinks the former Georgia congressman is too far behind now. “I just figured I’d give Santorum the vote,” he said. “I’m trying to make my vote count.”

Joseph Natal, who owns a brake inspection business, was inclined to support Gingrich as well, but also chose Santorum. “I didn’t want to waste my vote,” he said.

Lynne North, a 74-year-old retired paralegal, joked that she chose Romney because he was better looking. “We like Romney, and we like what he stands for,” she said.

But her husband, Donald Masinter, 78, a retired salesman, said he didn’t know why he voted for Romney. North suggested, “I think he is more well-rounded.” But Masinter replied, “I really didn’t like anybody that much.”

Elizabeth voted for Romney, but she was at a loss to explain why. “I think she picked him because she thinks he’s going to win and she wanted to get it over with,” William offered. Elizabeth did not disagree.

Jefferson and Orleans have over half of the remaining outstanding precincts—unless the other half are extremely strong Santorum, 50% is probably out of the question.

South La has a heavy Catholic pop. Santa might just squeek out a 51% win.

Rick is going to win Jefferson Parrish.

This is an incredibly strong performance tonight. He’s won where Huckabee didn’t in LA in 08 and carried all of the major cities outside NO

You can’t have my favorite duck, but I name the ones that might someday go into the freezer after democrats. So, you decide if you want to have Obama or Pelosi for dinner. ;>)
