Jay Kuo wrote about the March 2024 special election in Alabama for state house District 10:
Internal polls from the two candidates’ campaigns showed Lands and her opponent, Madison City Council member Teddy Powell, in more or less a dead heat, with conflicting results. But polls aren’t votes. And when it came to those votes, Lands romped.
With all votes in, Lands won by a whopping 25 points—in a district that voted narrowly for Trump in 2020 and for the GOP candidate by 7 points just two years ago.
