Ned Lamont and the Working Families Party

In Ned Lamont's last race, he won his election with a razor thin margin and the votes on the working families party line certainly were the margin of error. The difference though is that the Republicans chose to hit him really hard on policing and a tenuous relationship to defund the police through this particular line of attack. And so it's as much of a scientific A.B. test as we can on the impact of some of these attacks. You know, elections are multifaceted, but in as much as people claim that these attacks are just slam dunks, I think there's enough counterfactual evidence to suggest that's not true.
