This is all so mind-numbingly stupid.
So the Republicans, who were going to keep this seat in a landslide anyway, tampered to get this guy the nomination... how? How exactly did the Republicans convince 100,000 Democratic primary voters to vote for him when he did exactly zero campaigning?
Even if some Republican put up the filing fee for Greene, there’s no way to steal the nomination for him, short of massive, state-wide ballot tampering. Got any proof of that? I doubt it. And in all of these black precincts? I double doubt it.
And there’s no way that significant numbers of Republicans crossed over to throw the primary to this guy. Republicans didn’t know about Greene any more than the Democrats did, unless again, there was some absolutely ridiculous-in-size state-wide conspiracy going on.
Republicans were all voting in their hot gubernatorial primary. There’s no way in hell a significant number gave that up just to throw a primary that doesn’t need to be thrown.
The obvious fact is that, like every single black electorate in America, this black electorate voted for who they thought was probably the black candidate. And Vic Rawl assumed he would win because the establishment was behind him, and thus didn’t do enough campaigning to overcome that fact.
Bump!
It’ll be interesting to see where this goes.
The racist blacks just voted for the brother with the matching skin tone, just as they always do. End of story.
It wouldn't of matter if they had known about his criminal history... in fact he might have won by larger margins if they had known. The black community only cares about the color of peoples skin.
