The voters ofLouisiana cast their ballots for electors, or representatives to theElectoral College, rather than directly for the President and Vice President. Louisiana is allocated eight electors because it has sixcongressional districts and twosenators. All candidates who appear on the ballot must submit a list of eight electors who pledge to vote for their candidate and their running mate. Whoever wins the most votes in the state is awarded all eight electoral votes. Their chosen electors then vote for president and vice president. Although electors are pledged to their candidate and running mate, they are not obligated to vote for them. An elector who votes for someone other than their candidate is known as afaithless elector. There are no laws on the books in Louisiana that prohibit or punish faithless electors.[6]
These electors were nominated by each party to vote in the Electoral College should their candidate win the state:[7]

As aDeep Southern state located largely within theBible Belt, Louisiana has a conservative voting pattern, with the onlyDemocrats to carry the state's electoral votes afterFranklin D. Roosevelt beingAdlai Stevenson II in hisfirst bid,John F. Kennedy, fellowSouthernerJimmy Carter in hisfirst bid, andBill Clinton of neighboringArkansas.Republicans have won the state in every presidential election sinceGeorge W. Bush of neighboringTexas did in2000, and have done so by double-digit margins since Bush's2004re-election. This was the first election since 2008 in which any parish flipped parties.
This was the first presidential election in Louisiana since1984 when a candidate received over 60% of the statewide vote. Trump became the first Republican to win a majority-African AmericanTensas Parish sinceGeorge H.W. Bush in1988, as well as the first sinceRichard Nixon in1972 to achieve likewise in the slimly majority-minority[23] parishes ofIberville andSt. James. This came as Republicans have found relative success among the African-American community in the state, winning the mayoralties of heavily blackShreveport a year prior andBaton Rouge at the same time as Trump's victory. This has been attributed to the more socially conservative character of rural and southern African-American voters, who had shifted massively towards Republicans in various previous state elections.[24]
