Republican candidate Greg Gianforte Gianforte defeated Democratic candidate Rob Quist in Montana’s at-large special election for Congress, with Gianforte’s 50 percent of the vote beating Quist’s 43 percent. Unless you haven’t been paying attention to politics for the past 48 hours, you know that Gianforte body slammed reporter Ben Jacobs of The Guardian Wednesday evening.

As my colleague David Freddoso pointed out last night, much of the reason Gianforte won was probably because of Democrats encouraging all voters in the state to vote early by mail.
