Makes sense. Voting for Trump was insane. Voting for Handel was merely stupid.

I have no idea as my actual knowledge of these two candidates is very shallow.

... something like 4% of the Republicans who voted for Hillary voted for Handel. Or 4% of the "Never-Trump" brigade voted for Handel.
Unless there's other information forthcoming, I find it very unlikely that 4% of actually Hillary supporters, Democrats, would have voted for her.
There are missing details.

(61,608 posts)4. I agree. Sounds like 4% of the "never Trumpers" voted for Handel.

The ones that Handel kicked out of the voting registry.
Really how would they know unless they're tracking every voter in the county and violating their privacy.

Trump scared away a certain contingency of conservatives who would otherwise vote straight GOP. They returned to support Handel.
