Hoeven is a shady dude. When we were having the floods here in Bismarck some years ago, he showed up & was more about making sure his house along the river got saved than anything else. I remember when they started building those houses down there in the 70's & 80's everyone warned them even with the damn up now, it still is highly susceptible to flooding & the tax payers will end up having to bail them out when it does. They all said oh we know the risk we won't ask for help if it does flood. Well sure as shit it floods & they were all demanding everyone come bail them out. Even had people saying businesses should be forced to shut down so people could come sand bag their houses for them. Even had people irate that the carnival they do every year by the civic center was going on cause those peasants should be working on saving their castles. I knew Becker didn't have much of a shot but I voted for him anyway.
