Donald Trump won the election in Louisiana with 58.1% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 38.4% of the vote. Of the 2,029,032 total votes cast, Trump had 1,178,638 while Clinton had 780,154 votes. All of Louisiana's parishes voted for the same party they voted for in 2012 and 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 that East Baton Rouge Parish voted for the Democratic candidate three elections in a row; Trump also became the first Republican to win the White House without carrying this parish since Richard Nixon in 1968.
