vote and the GQP members who are on the petition maybe voting against it in the end. Politically one or more of them would face major backlash from their MAGA base and that could get them a challenger who is even more whacked than they are. In that case that seat could be an opportunity if the district is only slightly majority MAGA. Either way I would find it hard to believe that huge amounts of money aren't being promised to get things to go the way of Crumb The 1st.
