McMillin prevails

Liveblogging the election (halfheartedly)
I will be checking in & out through the evening. The one thing that I will say straight away that is very disappointing was that I was not allowed to vote for uncontested downticket races in the primary. That is a great gauge to see how candidates carry from the top. I know I have…
