It is my understanding that the DFL historically has gotten four votes to every one Republican vote, or 75%. Now math is definitely not my forte, but it looks to me like there were 7 or 8 Republican votes for every 10 DFL votes cast in the primary. Question: Is there a big Republican surge in the offing? Or is this typical of primary vs general elections?
