Primary Day - FL-17

Update: Wilson has maintained her lead. Not to take anything away from the Congresswoman-elect, but I had to point out that because this race is not being contested seriously by two major parties, a member of the U.S. House just got elected with less than 13,000 votes.

But congratulations. At least there was a race this year and voters got to weigh in at some level.

Update: Looks like this will be Rep. Wilson. She has 33 percent when noone else can beat 16 percent.

I feel genuinely bad not to know much about this race. The media as a whole has under-covered it severely. But tonight is the de facto election. This is Kendrick Meek's seat, and there is no contest to speak of in November, so it won't affect the balance of power.

The Democrats running for the long-time Meek-held district are Marleine Bastien, Phillip Brutus, James Bush, Scott Galvin, Shirley Gibson, Rudy Moise, Yolly Roberson, Andre Williams, and Frederica Wilson.
