11. While true, it also is true that Republicans got far more votes than the Democrats in the Georgia special election

Yes, Shane Harris got 37.3 percent of the vote and two other Democrats got around 2.4%. And yes that was an improvement over the 35.63 percent that Harris got when he ran against Greene in 2024. Also yes, Clayton Fuller, the leading Republican vote getter, got 34.9 percent in the special election. But there were almost a dozen other repubs on the ballot and they received around 25 percent of the vote. There is no doubt in anyone's mind that when it is a head-to-head contest between Harris and Fuller, the republican will win with around 60 percent of the vote.
