Don't let them fool you. This race had nothing to do with abortion. The Republican barely won this race in 2022 before it was discovered he falsified residency status, committed voter fraud, and lied about it to voters for months. He finally resigned his seat and pled guilty to a felony.
Also, Huntsville has gotten a lot of implants from California, Northern Virginia, and other places 'up North'. So it is no surprise that the Democrat won considering the background and the demographics. But this was not a referendum on abortion, as much as the left wants to push that narrative.
