Welcome back to be on the polls.

This week I talk about four exciting Chicago land Democratic House primaries with Cook Political

Reports, Aaron Covey.

Let's dive in.

Well, we had a very interesting primary night the other night in Georgia and in Mississippi,

and what I want to do in my rant this week is to kind of talk about that.

And what is an example in what is otherwise a very boring primary that you can take across

primary elections generally.

And that's what I call the iron law of primaries.

The iron law of primaries is as follows that any candidate

for office who has represented in part of a district that this person is trying to run in

will run better in that part of the district than they run elsewhere. Example last night was the person who won was endorsed by Donald Trump.

He won every county but won. He won it pretty handily. Mr. Fuller is going to be the next

congressman from the district. He finished second and the Democrat did overperformed, but this is so

Republican. There's really no doubt who's going to win this seat.

But the fact is he was running against a state senator, State Senator Colton Moore.

And Colton Moore represented four counties in the northwestern part of the state, Walker, Catusa, Chituga, and Dade.

Moore, one Dade County, the only county that Fuller lost to a Republican.

He lost a couple to the Democrat, but the only county that he lost to a Republican.

And Moore got 21% in Walker County, 20% in Chituga, and 18% in Katusa County.

By contrast, he got 4 percent in Cobb County, which casts the second largest number of votes in the district. This is an example that even

when you're losing, you will do better in your portion of the district than you do elsewhere.
