It is VERY inportant to note, the “NOMINATING” district is a qualification factor for the CANDIDATE ONLY. The ENTIRE district can vote in the election.
Perhaps removing this from the above post in the interest of public service 🙂

The Seaford race is interesting – the incumbent hasn’t accomplished much as board president and is rather unpopular. Also rather conservative. The challenger is quite popular but is very conservative and wants to scrap the establishment clause. What is a liberal in Seaford to do? I want change, but not a change for the worse! 🙁
Scrap the establishment clause? of the U.S. Constitution?
He can only try, the courts have been pretty consistent in holding it up via Lemon Test.
