Clarke Defeats Kinard for Democratic Candidate for Congress

Not a huge surprise, but incumbent Congresswoman Yvette Clarke defeated challenger Sylvia Kinard in the 9th district primary election yesterday. About 88% of voters (11,903 votes with 86% of precincts reporting) went for Clarke, and about 12% (1,584).

For an idea on how lame those numbers are, the 9th district has 277,210 registered Democrats.
