Election Challenges, Protests, Conspiracy Theories, and Moral Panics

[BmorePat87]

Kim Klacik, the person behind that viral conservative video trashing Baltimore, got destroyed in both the special election for my district and the general, despite raising more money (almost entirely out of state) than more than other House candidate with 5 or so exceptions.

She used that money to put her signs all over the district (in common areas, not lawns since she had very little support), send non stop mailers (never identified her party or her "political role model" (her words) Donald Trump, and hire people to work the polls.

She does not live in our district (though hilariously called herself a "proud Baltimore woman" when she grew up outside DC).

She failed to articulate any federal policies. her questionnaires were filled with boneheaded responses like "I'm going to listen to the Sec of Defense not the media" when asked what action Congress should take on North Korea.

She had no experience.

She's claiming on Twitter that she won the in person and early voting (she didn't) and that it has to be fraud that her opponent (a former city councilman, the congressman for our District before Cummings, and the former head of the NAACP) could have had so many votes for him via mail in ballots.

This is pathetic, but I guess this is the new GOP way.

Ironically, her political aspirations began with her complaining about trash in Baltimore and have ended with her leaving the city littered with her signs.
