And on to cane country!!!

This is the fourth of a series of posts on the voter turnout throughout the 6th CD in Louisiana.  You can view the first post here. You can view the first post here. In that post, I analyzed the voter turnout in Pointe Coupee Parish and West Feliciana Parish, which are on the northwestern edge of this district.  You can view the second post here, where I analyzed turnout in East Feliciana and St. Helena Parishes.    You can view the third post here, where I analyzed turnout in Livingston and Ascension parishes.  Today, I look at turnout in West Baton Rouge and Iberville Parishes, in the southwestern corner of this district below the flip!  

Matt D :: LA-06 Parish by Parish Breakdown: Iberville and West Baton Rouge
Iberville: Democratic Primary
TotalPctCandidate
1,315 43.13% "Don" Cazayoux
543 17.81% Jason DeCuir
63 2.07% Joe Delatte
829 27.19% Michael Jackson
299 9.81% "Andy" Kopplin

Iberville: Republican Primary
TotalPctCandidate
171 31.38% Laurinda L. Calongne
16 2.94% Michael Cloonan
248 45.50% Louis "Woody" Jenkins
110 20.18% Paul Sawyer

Iberville Parish Facts:

Pop: 32,974

White/Black (pct): 48.4/50.7

Bush/Kerry (pct): 42.71/55.70
Turnout (as a pct of registered voters):
Dem: 37.67%
Rep: 25.05%

Good news in Iberville, no? Cazayoux, if he survives April, wins this one in a walk.

West Baton Rouge: Democratic Primary
TotalPctCandidate
1,116 57.06% "Don" Cazayoux
237 12.12% Jason DeCuir
25 1.28% Joe Delatte
465 23.77% Michael Jackson
113 5.7% "Andy" Kopplin


West Baton Rouge: Republican Primary
TotalPctCandidate
144 26.62% Laurinda L. Calongne
12 2.22% Michael Cloonan
275 50.83% Louis "Woody" Jenkins
110 20.33% Paul Sawyer

West Baton Rouge Parish Facts:


Pop: 22,463

White/Black (pct): 62.1/36.7

Bush/Kerry (pct): 53.73/45.52
Turnout:
Democratic: 22.68%
Republican: 21.32%

Again, Cazayoux wins this one, easily. Somewhat depressing is the Democratic turnout percentage.

I don't have much to offer on either of these parishes, but let me state that I'm amazed by Democratic performance here. Hopefully, with the tremendous growth happening west of the river, we can start recruiting and strengthening our talent pool out here.

Rob Marionneaux is a good early example of this, but, as Kos says: "more and better Democrats".

Next up: East Baton Rouge
