Hmmmm...where’s the FUSION voting when you need it!?
Good question. As I mentioned in my article, I suspect most of Scozzafava's votes were cast before she dropped out. Others possibly didn't know she had quit. But I'm sure there were many of her supporters who simply stayed home, rather than vote for a conservative. No doubt there are some conservatives who would have done the same, had Hoffman dropped out instead of Scozzafava.
