Is De La Fuente gets more votes than Trump, D.C. is officially awesome.
Considering how DC is the three-EV handicap that the Democrats get in the general, any "Republican" that votes there is in tune with the establishment and how pathetic the Republican "convention" was... (one precinct, shortened hours, lines around the block on the Sabbath with 2,700 Republicans votes cast), I wouldn't be shocked if De La Fuente bests Trump's 391 vote tally.

Yes, because that totally changed results.
They had to extend the poll closing time to accommodate the Hasidism, who could not cast a vote on the Sabbath. So in a way, it did affect the results a bit as the window was very narrow for them to cast a ballot after the sun went down. My point was that the Republican process in the least Republican area that actually has EVs in the general was a sad caricature of how much of a joke the Republican Party is in DC.

Did it affect the outcome? Probably not. However, Rubio beat Kasich there by 50 votes. Every vote mattered.

The only other primary/caucus on the Republican side that could rival that is the one in the Virgin Islands where some carpetbaggers garnered up enough votes to become delegates, only to be DQed by the VI GOP chair on a technicality. There apparently was an actual fight when they sought to replace the delegates at a meeting. That will ultimately be handled by the credentials committee in Cleveland.
