BBC: Two GOP win in Louisiana

Anh Joseph Cao, a Republican, defeated the incumbent Democrat Representative William Jefferson, who faces trial on bribery and money-laundering charges.
....
In the 4th Congressional District in western Louisiana, Republican John Fleming narrowly beat Democrat Paul Carmouche in the race to replace retiring 10-term Republican Jim McCrery.
....
Mr Jefferson's defeat will not seriously affect the balance of power in the US House of Representatives, where Democrats hold a strong majority of the 435 seats.
