Unofficial Results

[mesler]

Just got an email from a meetup member who received an email from Jason Dore, Political Director of the LAGOP. Doesn't look pretty. Bare in mind these are unofficial results, does not include provisional votes.

We (RP Folks) likely have the most amount of provisional ballots, but I don't know if it will make much of a difference in District 1. I hope it helps out in the other districts.

On Tuesday night, approximately ten thousand Louisiana Republicans caucused in 11 different cities across the state. Those attending the caucuses cast their vote for 15 delegates and 15 alternates to represent their congressional district at the 2008 Louisiana Republican Convention. Results were tallied on site late into the night and then reported to Republican Party Headquarters in Baton Rouge. Of the thousands of ballots cast, approximately 650 were cast provisionally.

Before these provisional ballots are counted, LAGOP staff must verify that the voter was a registered Republican voter in his or her congressional district as of November 30, 2007. The counting of provisional ballots in the 3rd and 7th Congressional districts is not needed to verify the results as the margin of victory for all winning candidates is larger than the number of provisional ballots casts. For the other five Congressional districts, Republican Party staff members will begin the process of verifying the results through each parish's registrar of voter's office. Once that process is complete, the Secretary of the Republican of Louisiana will certify the official results.

Prior to the tabulation of the provisional ballots, the uncommitted "Pro-Life/Pro-Family" slate appears to have won a majority of delegates in all seven congressional districts.

All candidates who ran for alternate delegate in the the 2nd, 3rd and 4th congressional districts won after qualifying as there were 15 or fewer candidates for those positions. The attached files contain the unofficial results broken down by district and position. The P column shows the number of provisional ballots cast.

I'm not sure how to read the excels... by first glance it didn't look good.

Verifying information.

Attached file? That would have preliminary results, right? So..... Are we not allowed to see them?

This is at the bottom of the email, just for the record, if anyone decides to post them:

"The information contained in this communication is confidential and proprietary information intended only for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed. Any unauthorized use, distribution, copying, or disclosure of this communication is strictly prohibited. If you have received this communication in error, please contact the sender immediately."

That said, I would do it, if I had any clue how to attach 10+ excel sheets to a post here.

Edit after reading D7 ballot: Wow, that looks horrible. They got 66% or so of the vote, if those numbers are correct.

We did have _quite_ a few people they pretended weren't on the rolls though. We'll see.

fuck....Louisiana people failed to counter this ticket....such a smart move by people who support idiots....

Even if the pro-life/pro family bloc got more in total, this is the four other candidates banding together to try and fill the slate. These banded delegates are still delegates for a specific candidate, and the votes for each delegate will go to their specific candidate.
All this means is that the other 4 combined got more than RP, but no single one out did us.
This is still an individual contest.
Correct?

 

[jersdream]

it is individual...but the people now voting will ONLY be the ones on that ticket...meaning 0 RP delegates...a failure in swampland

 

[mesler]

Basically anyone on the pro-life/pro-family ticket seems to have overtaken the RP folks. I haven't looked at each district, but it definitely happened in my district (1) and a few others I checked briefly.

Here are the numbers AG Crowe, father of a meetup member who is a local rep. He likely doesn't know anyone in Kenner, but he was on the pro-life/pro-family ticket:

St. Tammany: 235
Orleans: 18
Kenner: 176
Total: 429

in contrast, here is the lady who organizes and is a lawyer in Orleans:
St. TammanY: 113
Orleans: 38
Kenner: 133
Total: 284

I seriously doubt everyone in Kenner knew AG Crowe, so I'm fairly sure all the local politicians sent out emails to their constituents and coaxed them into coming out to support the pro-life/pro-family candidates. As if RP isn't pro-life and pro-family.

What does any of this mean?

Did we win or not?

What looks horrible about getting 66% percent of the vote?

I mena all these LA posts say nothing...

About 1/2 of all RP voters did so on a provisional ballot. Those have NOT been counted!

 

[athlon64bit]

Will they be counted? Are they countable I mean? Are you saying that they are null and void or that they haven't got around to counting them yet or what?

 

[dawnbt]

How is it possible for this pro-life/pro-family crap? Why isn't it candidates only? Anyone can just swoon in and create a "group"? Unbelievable? Is that it? Can this be fought?

 

[Rex]

I'm going to pursue that legally.

 

[jersdream]

this really does suck....
figures Louisiana, was, still is, and forever will be America's shithole. Corruption...

 

[bgarrett]

Good for you Rex! You know to call on us for anything you need

 

[Rex]

If anyone can find some useful information that would be great. I don't think the LAGOP is going to be giving me any info...

They are new voters that registered by Nov 30. They have to check their voter registration for validity.

Unless Lafayette had an assload of folks voting that way I say that is TOTAL BULLSHIT....seriously...I will not stand by and let them steal this....

I believe it is candidates only. A bloc of candidates voters, voting on an issue, is not a candidate.
Lets wait and see what develops this morning, get clarification, this could be all misinfo....
