Incumbents Lose in WV, Utah as Voters Head to the Polls in Four More States
Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-WV) lost his bid for a 15th term Tuesday in a primary defeat. He is the first House member to lose a reelection bid in the 2010 campaign, and his defeat comes just days after Sen. Robert Bennett (R-UT) was knocked off the November ballot in Utah's convention process. Mollohan had a 98% lifetime score with the Alliance, including 100% in 2009. Bennett had a 5% lifetime voting record with the Alliance, and he scored 0% with the Alliance in 2009.
