    “So…. Not a single poll had Alsobrooks winning by anywhere close to double digits, elections absolutely can break late, and campaigns matter,” said Colin Seeberger, senior communications director for the Center for American Progress. “Feels like there are some lessons to be learned here for, I don’t know, future elections.”

    Sure is! Polls are worthless because the biggest voting block doesn’t answer rando numbers.
