• This election cycle, Harris and Trump campaigns are focusing their resources on a handful of key swing-states, where the election will likely be decided.
• In most of the rest of the country, including Louisiana, the outcome of the race is effectively predetermined.
• Louisiana’s status as a Republican stronghold is evidenced, in part, by historical voting patterns in several deep-red parishes.

Election Day is less than 50 days away, and the two major party candidates — Democrat Kamala Harris and Republican Donald Trump — are locked in a very close race. According to a New York Times analysis of national polls, Harris is currently leading her opponent, with support from 49% of voters compared to Trump’s 47%. These numbers are expected to shift in the coming weeks, but even if Harris maintains her slim advantage in the national polls, a Democratic victory is by no means guaranteed. (Here is a look at which Americans are most likely to vote for Kamala Harris.)

As has been the case in other recent presidential elections, the outcome of the 2024 race will likely come down to a handful of closely contested swing states. This election cycle, the most competitive states, where both campaigns are focusing their resources, are Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In these places, the candidates are polling so closely that either one has a reasonable chance of winning in November. (This is how Trump and Harris are polling in every key swing state.)

In stark contrast to these battleground states, most other states are considered a virtual lock for either Trump or Harris. Based on current polling results, political affiliation of the electorate, and historical voting patterns, Louisiana is one of these states. According to official records from the Federal Election Commission, the last time Louisiana went to a Democratic candidate was in 1996, when Democrat Bill Clinton defeated Bob Dole, a Republican.

Louisiana’s status as a Republican stronghold is driven by voters in certain parts of the state. There are 40 parishes in Louisiana where, over the last four presidential elections, an average of at least 60% of voters have cast a ballot for the Republican candidate.

If historical patterns hold up this election year, these same parishes will help deliver Louisiana and its 8 electoral votes to Trump in November 2024. All historical, parish-level, voting statistics are from the MIT Election Data and Science Lab’s County Presidential Election Returns 2000-2020 database, as compiled in the Harvard Dataverse, V13.

These are the most Republican parishes in Louisiana.

Why It Matters

Because of the electoral college system, the outcome of presidential elections often comes down to voters in just a handful of closely contested states. In contrast to these battleground states, most of the country has reliably voted either Democratic or Republican in recent presidential elections. These states include Louisiana, which, barring any unforeseen shake ups in the race, is all but guaranteed to go to Trump in 2024. Outcomes in states like Louisiana are driven, in part, by party strongholds at the county or parish level.
