A Ku Klux Klan supporter and former leader of the American Nazi Party was defeated by a black real estate agent Tuesday, in a landslide vote in the Arkansas Republican runoff election for lieutenant governor.
The white supremacist candidate, Ralph Forbes, had received a 46 percent plurality in the first round of voting last month, just short of the majority needed to clinch the primary.
But on Tuesday, he received a mere 4,431 votes, only 14 percent of the total, giving his opponent, Kenneth (Muskie) Harris, a sweeping victory. Harris will face Democratic candidate Jim Tucker, a former Democratic congressman from Little Rock, in the November general election.
