I remember Otter being highly unpopular, and I think if it had just been Russ Fulcher in the primary, he probably would have toppled the incumbent. But then that GOP primary debate went viral and everyone was talking about how bizarre everyone else was (Harley Brown in particular). I thought I read somewhere that Otter demanded a televised debate with every candidate on purpose so people could see who he was up against. But he only won that primary with 51%.
I can't speak for turnout, but I'm willing to bet that voters were finally happy to see someone besides Otter on the ballot, they came out to vote for him. His vote share in 2014 was probably depressed because people who wanted someone else on the GOP ticket just didn't vote for him.
