General Shawn Harris, a Democrat received 43,241 in the 17 person open Primary, compared to the runner up, endorsed by the orange pedophile, Clay Fuller, 40,388 votes.

Fuller and General Harris will meet in the full election in a runoff.
Another member of the fascist party, Colton Moore, received 13,472 votes, so it is unlikely General Harris will win, but it's nevertheless pleasing to contemplate this out come. None of the other 14 other candidates, including 2 other Democrats received more than 6,000 votes.

(37,862 posts)...certainly did not get all the votes of the party in favor of overthrowing the Constitution. It is pleasing if not realistic to think if half of those ended up voting for General Harris, he could actually win.
It's a fantasy, I know but such an outcome could strike some fear of the robots in Congress who rubber stamp each and every move made by the pedophile.

he got near enough the exact same overall percentage that he did when he ran against MTG in 2024; 35.6% then vs. 37.7% now.
Assuming all the GOP votes end up backing Fuller, the general results are going to be just about the same as last cycle
I guess no change is better than a +R shift, but this is definitely not going to be a double-digit +D pickup.

(37,862 posts)...this particular old man, a 9 where a zero should be.
The fascist party person should be considered with zeros I believe.

Yes, Shane Harris got 37.3 percent of the vote and two other Democrats got around 2.4%. And yes that was an improvement over the 35.63 percent that Harris got when he ran against Greene in 2024. Also yes, Clayton Fuller, the leading Republican vote getter, got 34.9 percent in the special election. But there were almost a dozen other repubs on the ballot and they received around 25 percent of the vote. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that when it is a head-to-head contest between Harris and Fuller, the republican will win with around 60 percent of the vote.

(46,117 posts)But they weren't. And what my post points out is that the actual numbers tend to render the fact that Harris got more votes than Fuller less relevant than the fact that the republicans on the ballot got nearly 60 percent of the vote.

(37,862 posts)It might be useful to look at crazy Greene herself and we might well also consider the effect of recent events.
I'm not saying it's probable, and I expect to be disappointed, but I'm not a fan of soothsaying, especially when my own soothsaying - of which my wife has been reminding me for more than 20 years - predicted a Kerry landslide in 2004.
General Harris is running, and no matter whether he is actually improbably elected he is doing so to make a point and of course I wish him well. If he comes close, that's a win.
These are horrible times, disastrous times, and while I appreciate your effort to rain on my parade to which you are definitely entitled, my reading of history is that improbable events can and do, if rarely, happen.
Thanks for your sober comments.
