Where are there still returns outstanding in Louisiana?

About half of Caddo Parish, which has been good for Cruz so far, has yet to report.
Lots of votes left in East Baton Rouge Parish, which has also been good for Cruz.
About 70 precincts in Jefferson Parish have yet to report; Jefferson has been good for Trump.
Lots of precincts in Orleans Parish haven’t reported, but there aren’t a lot of Republican votes there. Trump is slightly ahead of Cruz in the ones reported so far, but Rubio and Kasich also do comparatively well.
Significant amounts of St. Tammany Parish, which has been good for Trump, have yet to report.

Overall, our guess is that Trump will just barely hold on, but these were not the sorts of margins some networks were expecting when they called Louisiana for Trump just after 9 p.m..
