Well...now Matheson is back up with 80% reporting.
And Love is no “RINO” or “moderate” so this Libertarian potentially having enough votes at present to make up the difference is going to require a different spin from the Libertarian crowd to justify this.
Racism, that would be the obvious reason. She would be winning with 51% of the vote if the Libertarian was not in the race.
