The third place candidate, Al Lemmo, did accuse the second place candidate Amir Hassan, of being a trojan horse, due to his previous affiliation with the Democrat party. If someone closely following the election may also have reasons to not vote for Hassan, then it's difficult to tell who is choosing their candidate sole because of his name.

The strange part of the election is that the first-placed candidate, Tom Smith, stopped campaigning to endorse the third-place candidate, Al Lemmo.

It's racist to make racist studies that are looking for white racism, when the problem is much worse the other way around (racism against white people). (I'm not white)
