Those people would have had to vote for all Republican candidates then. The most likely scenario is that most people that voted for him had no idea who he was beyond the only name on their ballot. (It wasn't 20,000)The sad thing is, I grew up in this district. He's got no chance of winning in the general, of course. Dan Lipinski can continue on with his hereditary Congressional Seat.
But come on, GOP, 20,000 of you voted for this guy in the primary!!!

Arthur Jones
Neo-Nazi Arthur Jones has won the Republican nomination for one of Illinois' congressional seats.
Jones, a Holocaust denier and self-described former leader of the American Nazi Party, won the nomination by running as the sole candidate in Tuesday's GOP primary for the 3rd District outside Chicago.
Jones, 70, will try to unseat the incumbent, Rep. Dan Lipinski, who narrowly edged challenger Marie Newman in the Democratic primary.
Illinois has open primaries. It may well have been 20,000 Democrats voting for him.
He has no endorsement from the Republican Party.
I would put that at around 2/3 to 3/4 of those who probably voted for him by rote.
The rest are probably actual to leaning-towards nazis glad to be able to finally vote for one of their own.
The sad thing is, I grew up in this district. He's got no chance of winning in the general, of course. Dan Lipinski can continue on with his hereditary Congressional Seat.

3000 votes from who, since they have open primaries.But where does it say that 20,000 Republicans voted for him? None of the links say that. He was uncontested.
Far as I can tell from going straight to the board of elections website is that he got just over 3,000 votes.
and they vote for people that hate America/whites/police = ObamaA lot of stupid liberals went and continue to vote for ISIS sympathizers. At least our terrorists are born here, not like a liberal's Mooslims...What's your point
That a lot of Republicans voted for a neo-Nazi and Holocaust denier.
More than likely this is a very heavy democrat district so there must not be much GOP activity. That being said I have no doubt the local, state and national GOP will have nothing to do with this candidate.
