Do Special Elections Have Special Consequences?

An interesting thing happened on Tuesday in Hanover, New Hampshire. They had an unusually lopsided turn out for the race between Democrat Mike Cryans and the Republican victor, Joe Kenney.

Cryans got 91% of the votes. Just for perspective, Kim Jong Un got 9% only more in his ‘election.’ We’re pretty sure that ballot was stuffed.
