Is this accurate about James Sensenbrenner's 2004 election?

======================================
DISTRICT 5
District 5 Wisconsin
Current Representative
F. James Sensenbrenner
Republican Results of last election
Democrat 0%
Republican 86%
Other 14%


========================

Did the Democrat really get 0 percent?

[NoodleBoy]

1. they would have if no one ran against him

and if anyone wrote in votes, they would be counted as "other" even if they said they were running Democratic.

2. looks like...

noone ran against him...

[merwin]

3. That can't be right. There's no way an independant would get more votes

than a dem, in ANY location.

Notice that the same thing shows up in 2 other races... with one of them saying that the republican got 0% of the votes.

Something's not right with the numbers.

7. If there was no Democratic candidate, they sure would

And you guys all seem confused-- those were numbers from the 2002 cycle.

9. It lists a democratic candidate though.

10. for 2004, not 02.

4. No its incorrect

In 2004 Bryan Kennedy ran against Sensenbrenner.

Kennedy 32%
Sensenbrenner 66%

5. Does this that the Republican Majority

is not?

6. The information is inaccurate

U.S. House - District 5 - 360 of 360 Precincts Reporting

Sensenbrenner, Jim (i) Rep 271,167 66.61%
Kennedy, Bryan Dem 129,403 31.79%

8. listen up people... those numbers were for the 2002 cycle

and for the 3rd time, since there was no Democratic candidate in 2002, no one voted for them.

11. No that is not right...

Here's the official numbers...

F. James Sensenbrenner * (R) 271,167 67%
Bryan Kennedy (D) 129,403 32%
Other 6,547 2%

Remember... there's not one elected Democrat in Kennedy's district so that was a lot closer than anyone suspected that race would be. This time will be even closer.
