Franzl was trailing too, yet defeated favored Inks. I'm crossing my fingers for HW.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=118682.0This poll conducted by Survey Atlasia had the race tied, and considering Al's support flowed to Franzl, you could say it had Franzl winning.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=117789.0Another poll conducted by Survey Atlasia that actually had Franzl leading by 1 vote.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=117720.0TRC, an independent and excellent polling firm also had Franzl leading by 1 vote.
https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=117652.0Barnes conducted a poll that had Franzl leading by 2.
Those were the only polls I could find on the race, and not one of them had Inks leading.
Sorry, just wanted to prove you wrong.
