I took the time to verify the results, parish by parish (county-by-county) of the Democratic Primary (there was a Democratic Primary as well), and found some very interesting numbers.
President Obama lost 3 counties against a candidate named J. Wolfe. Can anyone tell me who the heck is this person?
I’m going to list the parish, the % obtained by J. Wolfe, and the % who voted against Pres. Obama.
Cameron — J. Wolfe, 30.4% — 72.1% against Obama
Grant — J. Wolfe 38.1% — 64.9% against Obama
LaSalle — J. Wolfe 34.6% — 70.8% against Obama
Moreover, Pres. Obama won 36 other parishes with a significant percentage voting against him.
I’m listing the parish and the % voting against Pres. Obama. I apologize if I misspell the name of any parish.
Union, 42.5%
Morehouse 21.5%
De Soto, 27.4%
Red River, 25.1%
Bienville, 22.2%

Moreover, Pres. Obama received a plurality in 9 parishes (he received more votes than the other candidates individually, but a majority voted against him). Again, I list the parish and the percentage voting against Pres. Obama
West Carroll 61.5%
Jefferson Davis 52.6%
Caldwell 52.1%
Winn 52.2%
Sabine 58.5%
Vernon 50.8%
Beauregard 54.1%
Livingston 58.5%
LaForche 60.7%
I recognize that these are parishes with a relatively small population, and that Louisiana is a state that will probably vote for the GOP candidate in November, but it is significant that so many Democrats voted against an incumbent president of their own party, in a closed primary, who is being portrayed in the media as being “unoppossed” for the nomination.
Can anyone tell me who this J. Wolfe is?
I will do the same with the Alabama Democratic primary, where President Obama lost various counties to “Uncommitted”
