State Convention [ ]
On March 24, the State Convention met in an attempt to reverse the results of the primary, giving Ted Cruz a clear majority.[4]
After conflicting reporting of their support for Ted Cruz, four of Rubio's five delegates publicly rebuked the reporting and committed to staying undecided.[5] Rubio's five delegates and 2 uncommitted delegates committed to Trump after Kasich and Cruz dropped out of the race.[6] [7] This gave Trump the majority of the delegates from the state.

Analysis [ ]
Donald Trump won the election in Louisiana with 58.1% of the vote. Hillary Clinton received 38.4% of the vote.[16] Of the 2,029,032 total votes cast, Trump had 1,178,638 while Clinton had 780,154 votes.[17] 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.
Louisiana was one of eleven states that voted twice for Bill Clinton in 1992 and 1996 which Hillary Clinton lost in 2016.
