Quinn won Morehouse Parish by 619 votes but trailed in Ouachita, West Carroll, and East Carroll, where portions of each parish are included in the district. Had the same number of voters who cast ballots in the attorney general's race also participated in the state representative contest, Quinn could have easily prevailed over Little, considering the 2-1 margin for successful Attorney General candidate [[Buddy Caldwell]] of Madison Parish over the Republican [[Royal Alexander]] of [[Shreveport]].<ref>http://bastrop.townnews.com/articles/2007/11/20/news/news84.txt</ref>
