In the FL Democratic Senate Primary it looks like there were about 1.25 million votes cast between the two candidates. In the Republican Senate primary there were about 1.62 million votes between the three candidates. Florida has a strong Republican voter advantage if they can get good turnout.
1. All Nixon’s campaign had to do was use her photograph on EVERY campaign ad. (This was also needed to make sure democrat voters were not confused and thought they were voting for Richard Nixon, R-CA ).
2. Vindman’s name was not Arabic enough to get the Islamic voters, not Spanish enough to get the remaining minority voters. His appearance was too white to get the remaining liberal democrat party liner voters.
