Democrat Marilyn Lands Flips Alabama State House Seat in Massive Upset Victory​

Democrats crush in the first election since the Alabama Supreme Court IVF ruling

https://www.meidastouch.com/news/democrat-marilyn-lands-flips-alabama-state-house-seat-in-massive-upset-victory

In a stunning upset in Alabama, Democrat Marilyn Lands has defeated Republican Teddy Powell in the Special Election for Alabama State House District 10 to fill the seat last held by Republican Rep. David Cole, who was indicted for voter fraud. With 99% of precincts reporting, Lands is beating Powell by 25 points. Lands lost the election to Cole in 2022 by 7 points, making Tuesday's results a 32-point swing in a Trump +1 district.

Internal polling by both campaigns showed a virtual dead heat, with Lands' campaign showing her with only a 3 point lead over Powell in a poll conducted from December 16th-20th. Powell's campaign showed the Republican with an 11 point lead. Another case of polling completely missing the mark in the post-Roe electoral reality.

If the RNC wasn't just turned into Trump's piggybank, there would be some panicking going on.

In case you missed it, as a former statistician, I can definitively state that this is a pretty significant swing.

Don't know how likely it would be, but it would be nice if Democrats could win Alabama this November, too.

He was a US Senator from Connecticut. The Democratic Vice Presidential nominee in 2000 (as part Al Gore’s ticket I had to vote for him but I did not like Lieberman.)
