Democrats Flip Red State Stronghold in Humiliation for Donald Trump

[RandySF]

A city just half an hour south of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort has a new Democratic mayor following an exceedingly narrow election.

Andy Thomson was declared the winner of the mayoral race in Boca Raton, Florida, on Friday after early results indicated he won by just a single vote.

The election, which was held on Tuesday, had to be recounted twice due to the extremely narrow margin. Thomson’s victory makes him the first Democrat to lead the city in more than 30 years.

Thomson, with 7,572 votes, beat his two rivals: Republicans Mike Liebelson and Fran Nachlas, who won 7,567 and 3,967 votes, respectively.

1. So the Dem won because the dumbass Republican candidates split the GOP vote.

Hope the Democrats running for governor in California heed that cautionary tale.
