      Googled the Dem candidate and he's a conservative who says his favorite Supreme Court justices are Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas. He also tried to stop a 12 year old girl (who was raped and impregnated by her brother) from getting an abortion when he was Macomb County Prosecutor and said “This is looking like a case of youthful sexual experimentation”

      If only more leftists had voted for him 😔

        He was also indicted for bribery (and found not guilty, but like, come on) : https://www.macombdaily.com/2006/09/28/marlinga-not-guilty/

        The two bribery and wire fraud charges revolved around Marlinga allegedly exerting influence in two criminal cases while he was prosecutor in exchange for more than $30,000 in campaign contributions for his 2002 unsuccessful run for Congress. The two other charges were in connection with campaign donations between a Marlinga supporter and Barcia.

      It’s one of the reddest districts in Michigan. It has never gone below 60% republican voting in the modern era. It’s why perpetual loser John Jame last ran there so he could finally win.

      Also that 1.8 % is on the average for third parties in congressional elections in that district.

      In short nothing to see here folks dems are just trying to do anything but blame their fallen angel Cuomo for loosing the house.
