| − | In the nonpartisan blanket [[primary]] held on October 6, 1991, Boothe ran against two other [[Democratic Party|Democrats]], Jerry R. Humble, and George C. Murray, Jr. Boothe and Humble both polled 46 percent in a low-turnout contest. Murray held the critical 8 percent remaining, which presumably switched in mass to Boothe in the runoff phase of the election on November 16. In that contest, Boothe prevailed, 2,581 votes (56 percent) to Humble's 2,065 (44 percent).<ref>Louisiana Secretary of State, Election Returns, October 6 and November 16, 1990.</ref> | + | In the nonpartisan blanket [[primary]] held on October 6, 1991, Boothe ran against two other [[Democratic Party|Democrats]], Jerry Ryals Humble (born 1950) of Jonesville, also in Catahoula Parish, and George C.
