In 2012 Shaun Winkler, the leader of the Bonner County Ku Klux Klan, ran for sheriff. He got 187 votes in the primary - less than a tenth of what the GOP candidate got. I have NO idea why a county with no black people in it has a KKK chapter, but they do.

If he'd have run for sheriff in Benewah County he probably would have won.
