If so my theory is that many of the uniformed voters may have just checked of the Republican box thinking Hoffman was now the Republican candidate. My theory could be completely off but I wouldn't be surprised if this was the case. There are way too many people, on both sides, that really have no idea what/who they are voting for.
And do they have mail in voting. How many ballots were sent prior to Scozza dropping out?
Hoffman lost because DeDe didn’t get ENOUGH votes. Too many liberals followed her endorsement and voted for Owens, while the die-hard republicans still voted for her.
If she had not dropped out, she would have siphoned off enough votes from Owens for Hoffman to win the race.
I believe this may also be the home of 10th Mountain Division at Fort Drum , NY.
So how many absentee military ballots were sent in a month ago voting for the “republican canidate” ?
