Holocaust-Denying Atheist Candidate for Alabama Attorney General Gets 43.5% of the Primary Vote:
That's the remarkable Larry Darby, who was seeking the Democratic nomination; the election results are here. I don't know whether I should (1) be sad that 160,000+ voters were willing to vote for a Holocaust denier, (2) be happy that they were willing to set aside the candidate's atheism (I doubt that many voted for him precisely because he's an atheist), (3) assume that few voters were paying much attention to more than a tiny handful of issues in the race, or (4) just be glad that he didn't win.
UPDATE: An interesting analysis of the race based on county-by-county results, in a comment to a Concurring Opinions post.
