2006 United States Senate election in Indiana 2006 United States Senate election in Indiana November 7 , 2006. Incumbent Republican United States Senator Richard Lugar was re-elected to his sixth six-year term with 87 .3% of the vote. He did not have a Democratic opponent and only faced opposition from a Libertarian candidate; this was the only U.S. Senate race in 2006 in which Democrats did not field a candidate. This would be the last successful race of Lugar's decades long political career. This is also the last time that Lake , Marion , Monroe , and Porter counties have voted for a Republican candidate for Senate.Candidates Libertarian Lugar faced no opposition from the Democratic Party , as they felt that he was unbeatable. The Indiana Senate race was the only one in 2006 in which the incumbent did not face a challenger from the other major party . Also running was Libertarian Steve Osborn. Osborn was from La Porte, Indiana and was an amateur radio operator . Exit polls projected a landslide victory for Lugar which was borne out by the result.Results Overall The election was not close as Lugar faced only a Libertarian candidate, as no Democrat filed to run. Osborn's best performance was in Switzerland County where he received just over 22% of the vote. This is one of the best statewide showings for a third party candidate in Indiana.By county Lugar won all 92 of Indiana's counties by varying margins.County Lugar Votes Osborn Votes Other Votes Total Adams 90.6% 7,143 9.4% 743 0.0% 3 7,889 Allen 89.3% 65,782 10.6% 7,838 0.1% 38 73,658 Bartholomew 90.0% 16,544 10.0% 1,834 0.0% 9 18,387 Benton 87.1% 2,086 12.9% 310 0.0% 0 2,396 Blackford 85.7% 2,902 14.3% 483 0.0% 0 3,385 Boone 91.5% 11,428 8.5% 1,058 0.0% 0 12,486 Brown 84.9% 4,181 15.1% 743 0.0% 1 4,925 Carroll 86.3% 4,859 13.6% 768 0.1% 3 5,630 Cass 88.1% 8,066 11.9% 1,094 0.1% 1 9,161 Clark 86.6% 21,690 13.4% 3,358 0.0% 0 25,048 Clay 86.9% 6,597 13.0% 987 0.1% 4 7,588 Clinton 87.6% 6,076 12.3% 856 0.1% 7 6,939 Crawford 82.6% 2,318 17.4% 488 0.0% 0 2,806 Daviess 91.4% 6,193 8.6% 586 0.0% 1 6,780 Dearborn 83.7% 9,091 16.2% 1,759 0.1% 11 10,861 Decatur 89.7% 5,575 10.3% 660 0.0% 0 6,415 DeKalb 86.4% 7,967 13.6% 1,258 0.0% 0 9,225 Delaware 88.7% 21,571 11.3% 2,740 0.0% 0 24,311 Dubois 90.4% 9,432 9.6% 1,007 0.0% 0 10,439 Elkhart 89.9% 34,342 9.9% 3,798 0.2% 74 38,214 Fayette 83.2% 4,704 16.8% 951 0.0% 0 5,655 Floyd 88.0% 16,941 12.0% 2,300 0.0% 0 19,241 Fountain 86.4% 4,267 13.6% 671 0.0% 0 4,938 Franklin 83.6% 5,061 16.3% 989 0.1% 7 6,057 Fulton 88.7% 5,493 11.3% 697 0.1% 1 6,191 Gibson 92.3% 8,395 7.7% 969 0.0% 2 9,094 Grant 89.4% 13,758 10.6% 1,638 0.0% 0 15,396 Greene 88.0% 7,757 11.7% 1,031 0.3% 28 8,788 Hamilton 92.0% 49,077 7.9% 4,226 0.1% 47 53,350 Hancock 89.6% 13,810 10.4% 1,605 0.0% 0 15,415 Harrison 85.4% 9,484 14.6% 1,625 0.0% 0 11,109 Hendricks 89.8% 25,216 10.1% 2,841 0.1% 15 28,072 Henry 85.4% 10,375 14.6% 1,776 0.0% 0 12,151 Howard 86.2% 17,660 13.7% 2,804 0.1% 25 20,489 Huntington 87.0% 7,392 13.0% 1,104 0.0% 0 8,496 Jackson 89.1% 9,887 10.8% 1,203 0.0% 5 11,095 Jasper 85.3% 5,122 14.6% 876 0.1% 7 6,005 Jay 85.9% 4,850 14.1% 795 0.0% 0 5,645 Jefferson 85.6% 6,838 14.4% 1,150 0.0% 0 7,988 Jennings 87.7% 6,751 12.3% 948 0.0% 0 7,699 Johnson 90.8% 24,333 9.1% 2,434 0.1% 36 26,803 Knox 87.2% 8,764 12.8% 1,290 0.0% 0 10,054 Kosciusko 88.3% 15,231 11.5% 1,983 0.2% 32 17,246 LaGrange 87.4% 5,063 12.6% 730 0.0% 0 5,793 Lake 81.8% 47,868 18.1% 10,575 0.1% 61 58,504 LaPorte 79.9% 18,967 20.1% 4,773 0.0% 0 23,740 Lawrence 87.3% 9,404 12.4% 1,335 0.3% 36 10,775 Madison 85.8% 25,963 14.2% 4,294 0.0% 11 30,268 Marion 89.0% 127,898 11.0% 15,866 0.0% 0 143,764 Marshall 89.7% 10,958 10.3% 1,253 0.0% 0 12,211 Martin 86.4% 2,765 13.6% 435 0.0% 0 3,200 Miami 84.8% 6,771 14.9% 1,192 0.3% 21 7,984 Monroe 83.2% 21,998 16.8% 4,451 0.0% 0 26,449 Montgomery 88.9% 7,639 11.1% 948 0.0% 4 8,591 Morgan 87.7% 12,254 12.3% 1,720 0.0% 0 13,974 Newton 81.8% 2,915 18.2% 647 0.0% 0 3,562 Noble 87.9% 8,800 12.1% 1,209 0.0% 0 10,009 Ohio 80.1% 1,523 19.9% 378 0.0% 0 1,901 Orange 88.2% 4,503 11.8% 605 0.0% 0 5,108 Owen 87.2% 4,418 12.8% 650 0.0% 0 5,068 Parke 89.1% 4,182 10.9% 512 0.0% 1 4,695 Perry 85.9% 3,916 14.1% 640 0.0% 0 4,556 Pike 87.6% 3,649 12.3% 511 0.1% 3 4,163 Porter 81.5% 25,385 18.2% 5,658 0.3% 90 31,133 Posey 89.7% 7,636 10.3% 877 0.0% 0 8,513 Pulaski 85.9% 3,625 14.1% 595 0.0% 2 4,222 Putnam 89.8% 7,352 10.1% 826 0.1% 8 8,186 Randolph 87.5% 5,587 12.5% 799 0.0% 2 6,388 Ripley 84.7% 6,224 15.2% 1,117 0.1% 7 7,348 Rush 89.5% 4,340 10.5% 506 0.0% 2 4,848 Saint Joseph88.8% 52,437 11.2% 6,587 0.0% 0 59,024 Scott 84.3% 4,267 15.4% 778 0.3% 14 5,059 Shelby 89.5% 9,070 10.2% 1,035 0.3% 26 10,131 Spencer 92.8% 5,483 7.1% 699 0.1% 8 9,777 Starke 76.3% 4,560 23.7% 1,415 0.0% 0 5,975 Steuben 83.6% 6,728 16.4% 1,314 0.0% 2 8,044 Sullivan 85.1% 4,489 14.9% 783 0.0% 0 5,272 Switzerland 77.7% 1,615 22.3% 463 0.0% 0 2,078 Tippecanoe 84.9% 25,707 15.0% 4,535 0.1% 39 30,281 Tipton 88.1% 4,554 11.9% 616 0.0% 0 5,170 Union 85.1% 1,913 14.9% 336 0.0% 0 2,249 Vanderburgh 87.9% 39,898 12.1% 5,474 0.0% 0 45,372 Vermillion 82.9% 3,380 17.1% 696 0.0% 0 4,076 Vigo 86.4% 19,242 13.6% 3,025 0.0% 10 22,277 Wabash 86.9% 5,653 13.1% 855 0.0% 0 6,508 Warren 87.2% 2,221 12.7% 325 0.0% 0 2546 Warrick 89.5% 15,038 10.4% 1,748 0.1% 11 16,797 Washington 85.7% 6,494 14.0% 1,060 0.3% 19 7,575 Wayne 80.5% 10,846 19.5% 2,631 0.0% 0 13,477 Wells 87.9% 7,389 12.1% 1,011 0.0% 2 8,402 White 86.4% 5,930 13.6% 935 0.0% 0 6,865 Whitley 87.5% 7,855 12.5% 1,123 0.0% 0 8,978
