11:49 - LA-2 is final. Cao by 1,826. The Green Party candidate got 1,880 votes.
11:44 - LA-2 results haven't changed in 30 minutes. Still no call in LA-4. Lt looks like just provisionals still to be counted, and voting is by machine so recount won't change things. Absentees are all included in the current totals.

11:08 - Jefferson down by 5,000 with 79% in
