Louisiana Election Results

Louisiana is a solidly red state where President Trump won easily and Senator Bill Cassidy, a first-term Republican, cruised to re-election. The main contests were down-ballot. Read more

In the Fifth Congressional District, which covers the northeastern part of the state, nine candidates were running for the House seat being vacated by Representative Ralph Abraham. This was a safe Republican seat; the question was which Republican would win. Luke Letlow advanced to a runoff election against the candidate who finished second in a bipartisan field. A delegate to the 2016 and 2020 Republican National Conventions, who had been seen as the front-runner, Mr. Letlow received more than a third of the vote with 85 percent of the expected votes tallied.

Louisianians also voted on several proposed constitutional amendments. Voters passed the most prominent amendment on the ballot, Amendment 1, establishes that there is no right to abortion in the Louisiana Constitution. In June, the Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana law that required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. — MAGGIE ASTOR Read less
