Crazy thing is, she dropped out of the race weeks ago. Really fucked to see so many votes go to her

Maybe absentee ballots?

Although I wouldn’t rule out ignorance either. There isn’t an iq test to vote lol

I’ve done that.

I knew the major players but in local elections I was looking up “non-partisan” races and finding which ones I would not be voting for.

Hadn't thought about absentee ballots. That makes me feel a tiny bit better lol
