Jefferson 55 Carter 45

Back to the uber-pessimistic phase you were in when you kept insisting Santorum would win?

Jefferson would have to take about half of the votes not cast for him or Carter to get that, which is pretty unlikely since all the non-Jefferson voters obviously didn't vote for him for a reason. He might get a good chunk of the approx. 15% that voted for Republican candidates, but I don't see much more.

I assume polls are closed, but still nothing here:

You got results? I still see nothing.

Also, I believe polls don't close until 9 in Louisiana.

Hmm, interesting. Those parish numbers don't add up though. It should be 23 precincts reproting.

Anyone know of where to get precinct results? It'll be interesting to see how the Republican precincts in the district vote.

You have got to be kidding me.

Jefferson pulled ahead big in Orleans Parish.

Let's hope that's his base (or Republican areas) coming in.

Karen Carter (D)   2119   48%
William Jefferson (D)   1169   52%

Im getting worried. If Jefferson is reelected than I have lost hope in New Orleans.

Looks like the DownWithTheLeft's are coming out in force.

My logic was that Jefferson would take a massive portion of the Republican vote and most of the black vote as well.  And yes I'm aware Carter is black too, but not as black.

You've gotta be kidding me that these people are stupid enough to reelect someone who was taped accepting a $100,000 bribe.

Bear in mind this is still a tiny number of precincts reporting, but it will definitely be very close.

Found a faster site.

The bad news is that 100,000 dollar bills is leading 54-46 with 204/492 precincts.

Carter has retaken the lead....whew.

....only to lose it again. damn.

[○∙◄☻¥tπ[╪AV┼cVê└]

Carter has retaken the lead....whew.

No whew, that site has only 72 precincts in.

[Verily]

She retook the lead with one precinct (71 to 72 changed it from 53-47 to 48-52). Stop calling this early, guys.

Edit: Never mind
