GOP HOUSE NOMINEE ARTHUR JONES SPEAKING AT THE ARYAN NATIONS 2014 WORLD CONGRESS. CREDIT: JONES' CAMPAIGN WEBSITE
The former head of the American Nazi Party ran for the Republican nomination of Congress in Illinois 3rd Congressional District. No Republican stepped up to oppose him.
On Tuesday, despite his vocal Holocaust denial, his anti-Semitic rhetoric, and his white supremacist views, 20,339 Illinois Republicans, according to preliminary totals, cast their ballots for Arthur Jones.
Jones Nazi-sympathies were not a secret going into election day. His campaign website features a slideshow of pictures of him speaking at white nationalist events.

(51 posts)He could have voted for himself and won.
I personally would chock this up to voting for their party instead of sitting out. The guy was gonna win either way, but he won't win the actual election.

(28,270 posts)I vote democratic only.
If in some alternate universe the only democrat on the ticket was an out nazi, I would cut my fucking hand off before I cast a vote for human filth like that!
Nazi shoveled millions of Jewish babies and toddlers into ovens gleefully in case anyone has forgotten that FACT.
And this pig republican nazi that just got 20,000 votes would gladly do the same!
