Louisiana Run Off: Final Results

Posted by Tim Tagaris

It's over.

LA-3 Charles Melancon (Dem.) defeats "Little Billy" Tauzin III -- According to "Sharon" at the Louisiana Sec. of State's office, "all ballots have been counted."  This includes absentee, which was my specific question.  Louisiana election law only provides for recounts in case of fraud.

57,609 to 57,092 -- 50% to 50% -- Winner: Melancon (Dem.)

LA-7: A lot less complicated.  Willie Mount (Dem.) lost to "Lord Charles" Boustany.

61,483 to 75,035 -- 45% to 55% -- Winner: Boustany (Rep.)

So, a split.  There was a lot of traffic tonight.  I appreciate everyone stopping by for results or to read the in-depth on the races.  Be sure to come back.  Time to look forward to 2005 & 2006.
