Obama lost La Salle Parish. That's Jena.
FWIW, he lost by 14 votes.
The precinct level results in La Salle are... somewhat expected. Obama won one precinct 41-1. He received zero votes in a whole bunch of other precincts.
In the South, especially the rural South, there are black precincts and there are white precincts.
True enough but aren't African-Americans more scattered across Louisiana relative to the rest of the Deep South?
The blacks in LaSalle are packed into two precincts in Ward 10. There may be a few blacks in other places in LaSalle, maybe like 10 or so, and they may well still be slaves, or at best sharecroppers, for all I know.
