The surging energy on the left was on display on Tuesday night when the early and absentee vote returns were tallied in the district’s largest county and revealed Mr. Thompson to have staked out a considerable lead.

In any event, Estes ends up winning by 9%? That seems pretty respectable, all in all...

Final totals indicate a 7% win. Pompeo won by 31% in 2016. The vote total was 40% of what it was in 2016. Estes received 100,000 less votes than Pompeo.
