Dave Brat won the 7th District of Virginia Congressional District last night with 60.92% of the vote with the Democratic challenger Jack Trammell receiving 36.88% and Libertarian James Carr at 2.09%. Interestingly, Brat won the Special Election on the same ballot with 61.8% of the vote. Apparently 673 people missed the “vote for Dave twice” instructions. About double that number (1375) voted for Trammell in the Special Election but not in the general election.

The obvious conclusion is that Republicans pay attention at double the rate of Democrats when it comes to casting votes. The fact that Al Franken won in Minnesota proves that point.

Now I haven’t coordinated the prestigious “Most Supportive”  awards with the Brat Campaign so these are completely unofficial.

And please note that these awards are based entirely on the General Election Results – not the Special Election.

Brat received 147,695 votes. The “Brat Pack” supporters who pushed Dave through the primary and the general election can be proud of that number.

A total of 242,454 votes were cast in the 7th District about 9,000 more than the last midterm election of 2010.
