The connection would be that you can get some voters to vote for anyone. The people we are talking about are irrational, so trying to connect their behavior to a candidate evilness ranking is futile.
Fortunately, most voters do have more sense than that.
Bonnie Dumanis, a Republican who likes to claim she's "a law and order Republican who is as conservative as it gets" just got reelected yesterday for a fourth term as San Diego's City DA. This is despite the fact that she got red handed accepting $100,000 (all in small unmarked bills) as a "campaign donation" (which she "forgot" to mention on her campaign disclosure forms) from a member of a Mexican Drug Cartel to write a letter of recommendation for the drug cartel member's son so he could go to college in the US. It is 1) illegal to accept campaign money from foreign nationals and 2) she obviously was taking a bribe for more than just writing a college referral letter. This is after she wasted tens of millions of dollars of taxpayer money trying to shut down legal pot dispensaries which voters had already voted to allow and which judges have now twice struck down her rules outlawing them as illegal. Oh, and she's also on the verge of getting disbarred from the bar association for all manner of dirty underhanded garbage.
Yet, just yesterday she got reelected with 58% of the vote because she had an "R" next to her name and form the old fools voting yesterday that was good enough. I doubt most of them knew much about her, her numerous misdeeds, or even knew her name, they just saw an R and voted straight party line. He'll despite her numerous scandals, the fact that she might get disbarred (and so not even legally be able to do the DA's job) the local corrupt Republican good old boy network kept her on the ticket.
So, when the OP gets upset that 3% of the population voted for some corrupt Democrat (with 97% of the population voting against him) remember there are a lot of corrupt Republicans who STAY in office while that Democrat actually got thrown out of office by his own party. FACT!

I hope those campaign dollars don't shoot anyone.
Let me know when a republican is trying to bring rpg's into the country to sell to gangs.
That's the "beauty" of it? Really? That we have so many idiots that cast votes that have or could have major impacts on the country? That's not beauty, that's the horrible ugliness of it. Not free elections, but the fact that people vote who realm should not....clearly.
The beauty is you can't force people to vote for who you want them to vote for no matter how much you disagree with who they wish to vote for.
I get it, you are so, so mad about how many people voted for Yee, yet it is their right to vote for whomever they like.
