re: EBR Mayor-President race

I truly believe a decent republican candidate could actually win this election if they have some money and charisma and actually campaign. With the black vote split and the presidential election driving turnout in the open primary, a republican could make the runoff. In the runoff, turnout will be low which greatly favors republicans. However, all of the conservative “money” people are throwing their bucks around James. It’s insane.

The black vote will be split, but only in the primary. There won't be any candidate with 51% so there will most definitively be a runoff. It pains me to say, but Smiling Ted James will likely win.
