Maybe if Lee cannot beat her in a Democratic primary (Lee), she needs to accept she is not the best person to represent the democratic party from that particular district in future elections. Lee has not been able to beat Fukumoto when Lee was the only Democrat in the race, and we certainly know it is not because the local GOP has some great GOTV strategy. If I were Lee, I wold not challenge this and my whole campaign would consist of highlighting Fukumoto's past statements and votes that were inconsistent with the Dem platform. If the primary voters say we don't care, Lee should accept it and be happy the party now has this seat.
