Everyone Gets a Trophy: The Lt. Governor Primary Map
This map really shows you how everyone but Bethany Hall Long was a regional candidate. Fuller and McGuiness relegated to Sussex. Popitti and Dorsey Walker to Wilmington and New Castle County. Eaby in Dover. Every candidate won multiple RDs. But only Hall Long won in multiple parts of the state.
Also shows just how strong the turnout was in Wilmington for Walker to come in second place.
I am interested in McGuiness’ Western Sussex win, though. Interesting.
She beat Bethany by 1 vote in that district. 1 vote.
Re Dorsey Walker’s finish, it was not turnout that matter, but just the number of people there. If you win there, you are nearly home in winning the state.
“it was not turnout that matter, but just the number of people there. If you win there, you are nearly home in winning the state.”
Porque no los dos?
Obviously Wilmington will always be the golden prize regardless of the year, but this year in particular doing well there gives a candidate a particular advantage.
Very impressive what Hall-Long was able to do. She also could have been a “regional candidate”, but clearly had a good enough operation to overcome that, and to overcome the city vote not going overwhelmingly to her. I was not a fan, but must admit that it was a well run campaign.
Interesting. They look like state senate candidates not Lt Gov candidates
