Title: Tea Party candidate could run as Dem
Post by: quiller on June 02, 2016, 06:16:52 AM
Election years and end times are sometimes easily confused.

QuoteA Pennsylvania House candidate who lost the Republican primary has been presented with the unexpected possibility that he might compete in the general election — as a Democrat. 

An early tally of write-in votes on Tuesday put tea party-backed conservative Art Halvorson slightly ahead of Democrat Adam Sedlock in the Democratic primary, potentially giving Halvorson the option of accepting the nomination from the rival party, the Tribune-Democrat in Johnstown reported. 

Halvorson, a retired Coast Guard captain and businessman, would then face a general election in the 9th Congressional District against incumbent Rep. Bill Shuster, who beat him in the April Republican primary by a little more than 1 percentage point.

End times, or a Tea Party Democrat? Can we see what's behind Door #3?
