Hart Barely Leads Griffiths In Poll

Looks like Rep. Phil Hart’s operatives finally woke up this morning and realized that they’re favorite timber rustler was trailing a write-in candidate in that Coeur d’Alene Press poll. When I checked at midnight Wednesday, write-in candidate Howard Griffiths was leading Hart 171-138 (44% to 35%) with 78 (20%) undecided. I discovered that Hart had pulled into the lead 214 to 204 when I checked a few minutes ago and the votes are coming in rapidly for Hart now.

Question: Would Phil Hart beat Howard Griffiths if both names were on the ballot?
