Nominating contests
St. George · which candidate this place backed in each party’s presidential nominating contest, cycle by cycle. A primary is a contest inside one party, so it has no Democratic–Republican margin and is not part of the general-election record above.
Akashic reports votes cast, not delegates awarded. The two can disagree: Clinton led the 2008 national primary popular vote by less than half a point and did not win the nomination.
Primary returns are published at county grain. The figures below are East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, the county containing St. George — St. George’s own primary vote sits inside those totals and is not separately reported.
Presidential nominating contests in St. George, by party and cycle.
○no contest record — Akashic holds no result for that party and cycle here. It is not a claim that no contest was held. Telling apart a contest that was cancelled, one that went uncontested, and one simply not yet ingested needs a nominating-contest calendar, which is a separate ingest from results and does not exist yet.
Republican presidential primaries are not yet ingested — the Republican series runs from 1856 and is in scope. The row is kept so its absence is visible: a Democratic-only panel would otherwise read as though no one else held a contest.
Akashic carries 10 states for 2012 and 3 states for 2024. Cycles in which an incumbent president seeks renomination are thin by nature — few states run a contested primary — so a sparse column is politics, not a hole in the record.
County returns carry a leader and a lead over the runner-up, and nothing more. The full candidate field with vote shares is published at state grain — follow a cycle above to the state contest for it.
St. George incorporated in southeastern East Baton Rouge Parish in 2024, after the Louisiana Supreme Court's 4–3 ruling in Broome v. Rials upheld an October 2019 incorporation vote that had passed with 54 percent of the vote. The new city absorbed six former census-designated places — Shenandoah, Oak Hills Place, Old Jefferson, Inniswold, Village St. George, and Westminster — and counted 78,536 residents in the Census Bureau's July 2025 estimate, sixth among Louisiana's incorporated cities. Within its current boundaries the presidential margin has narrowed from R+53.2 in 2008 to R+28.7 in 2024.
The territory that became St. George has voted Republican across the full block-level record. The presidential margin within today's boundaries was R+53.2 in 2008 and R+53.1 in 2012, then narrowed in each cycle that followed — R+40.4 in 2016, R+38.6 in 2020, and R+28.7 in 2024, a 24.5-point movement toward Democratic candidates over five cycles. Presidential turnout inside the boundary grew from 35,574 votes in 2008 to 43,913 in 2024.
The 2020 Census counted 79,389 residents within the city's current limits: 68.0 percent non-Hispanic white, 16.2 percent Black, 6.8 percent Hispanic, and 5.4 percent Asian. Median household income stands near $84,800 — a population-weighted composite of 2020–2024 ACS figures for the absorbed places and the parish remainder — against $63,071 for East Baton Rouge Parish as a whole. The incorporation campaign grew out of an earlier push to create a separate southeast-parish school district; Governor Jeff Landry appointed Dustin Yates interim mayor in May 2024.
