[Peace-discuss] Primary election day

[C G Estabrook]

That’s probably right, but it’s not clear to me what voters are thinking, or what information they’re voting on/

E.g., in our gerrymandered IL-13 CD, Londrigan got 24,000 votes: Jones got half that; Gill got 8,000; and Ebel 7,000. Why?

Londrigan?
