Louisiana Leg. Races

 It took me a while to piece all this together. It appears that the Democrats are likely to keep both houses, but probably by smaller margins than previously. We won't know for sure until the runoff elections on the 17th.


 STATE SENATE:
 
Old:  25 D, 14 R

New: 22 D, 13 R, 4 Pending Run-offs between D/R



 HOUSE:

Old: 60 D, 43 R, 1 I, 1 V

New: 48 D, 41 R, 1 I, 14 Pending Run-offs between D/R, 1 pending Run-off between D/I



 Keep in mind that there were a large number of retirements, especially in the House, due to term limits. Also, several of the Democrats are quite conservative and may switch parties if the final margin is close.

I have 45 D, 42 R, I 1, and 16 D/R runoffs and 1 D/I runoffs.

There is another that would appear to be in recount territory, CD 31 with a 33 vote margin out of 14,697 votes.  If a recount reversed the result, this would be a D pickup of a R seat.

Looks like Dems are likely to be left with 58 or 59 in the House.

I'd like to just state I like Louisiana's electoral system.
