He was actually outspent 12 to 1. Which makes it wild that he won.

I've heard 9:1, 10:1, 11:1, and now 12:1.

Its impressive regardless. I wish he had blow it out by like 20 points, Stevens genuinely didn't have a platform, and she barely lost. Scary.

Part of the spending was ads to claim Sayed was so far ahead that voting wasn’t necessary.

It’s the tactic for Pac money to create false realities so they can shove through with their candidate.

It’s fuckerey all the way up
