But in his twitter account, he said O’Conner needed 32% in Marion. He’s below by 1. How is this not good for the R?
Here’s the ‘thing’. lower turnout in a favorable area means less total votes overall. Even though you hit your percentage.
National media depresses R turnout in special elections IMO. National media can’t do that when there are a whole bunch of local elections going on at the same time.
Anyway, this special election ain’t over.
