THIS is how America Votes

In North Carolina's newly created 6th Congressional District, several Republicans vied to bring home the prize. It was all the more worthwhile because the incumbent, Representative Kathy Manning declined to seek reelection. The new 6th district had been gerrymandered by the Republican led state legislature so as to make her reelection chances nearly impossible.

The winner of the race was lobbyist for Blue Cross and Blue Shield and an aide to Senator Ted Budd, Addison McDowell, a local, from Davidson County. McDowell received 21, 206 votes. The district has a population of 790,000 souls. His voted percent was under 30%. He had been endorsed by former President Trump.

He was followed by former Congressman Mark Walker, with strong ties to the evangelical community. His TV ads claimed he was endorsed by "pastors." During the campaign period, Walker trashed former President Trump but Trump actually called him and offered him a job in the Trump election organization. Moral are are morals but money is money.

The 6th Congressional district is comprised of 6 disparate countries. McDowell faces no opposition in the general election on November 5th. This is the face of American elections. No choices and one well-connected man elected by a mere fraction of the voters in a contrived district. God Bless America.
