It was well into Sunday morning before all of the votes were counted, the last batch being absentee votes. Whitehorn beat John Nickelson with 53 percent of the votes.

Both Whitehorn and Nickelson addressed supporters at their watch parties.

Yes!
I heard the winner, I think his name is Whitehorn, in an interview talk about how well received he was in the 60 churches he visited and how hard the pastors worked to get out the vote.
It is quite obvious the IRS has no teeth regarding the Johnson Amendment. It is time to get the churches involved in politics. The media must be off set and churches can be extremely formidable.
