7th US Congressional District

Our poll results:

Daryl Campbell 41.67%
Chuck Ream 25%
Sharon Renier 5.56%
Fred Strack 27.78%

I don't think you phrased this as we agreed. There were motions
for Campbell and Strack. Not for either of the others! So, the
whole point of this exercise was a runoff between those two....

Ask anybody that responds otherwise to re-vote.

Ream is liberal, but not really running, and admitted not raising
money -- in a Congressional race? You have to raise $50K just to
be considered serious.

6% for the previous cycle nominee is the definition of "loss".

We need software for IRV on the polls here. Then, we
wouldn't need to re-poll again.
