Illinois: Fmr. Nazi Party Member Wins Republican Primary for Congressional Race
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Illinois, a Holocaust denier and a former American Nazi Party member
has won the Republican primary in the 3rd Congressional District
Tuesday. Republican candidate Arthur Jones is not expected to win the
general election this November, as he's competing in a heavily
Democratic district that includes parts of Chicago. His Democratic
challenger for the district will be the anti-abortion incumbent Dan
Lipinski, who narrowly beat out his progressive challenger Marie Newman.
Lipinski also opposes the Affordable Care Act and refused to endorse
President Obama in 2012. Before he won the congressional seat in 2004,
his father, Bill Lipinski, held the seat for 11 terms.
