The 2016 United States presidential election in Louisiana was won by Donald Trump on November 8, 2016, as part of the 2016 General Election in which all 50 states plus The District of Columbia participated. Louisiana voters chose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote pitting the Republican Party's nominee, businessman Donald Trump, and running mate Indiana Governor Mike Pence against Democratic Party nominee, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her running mate, Virginia Senator Tim Kaine.
On March 5, 2016, in the presidential primaries, voters expressed their preferences for the Democratic, and Republican, parties' respective nominees for President. Registered members of each party only voted in their party's primary, while voters who were unaffiliated weren't able to vote in the primaries.[1]

State Convention
On March 24, the State Convention met and reversed the results of the primary, giving Ted Cruz a clear majority.[3]

Analysis
Donald Trump won the election in Louisiana with 58.1% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 38.4% of the vote.[6] All of Louisiana's parishes voted for the same party they voted for in 2012. In 2012, every parish had also voted for the same party as they did in 2008. As a result, this marked the first time since 1992 that East Baton Rouge Parish backed the losing candidate of the election, and the first time since 1948 East Baton Rouge voted Democratic three elections in a row.
