What I read was that there were 7,619 *total* votes. In a paltry turnout like that, I'd say Ds showed up and everyone else stayed home, which shows how Rs and Is are reacting to OBBBA, Epstein, and military takeovers of cities. I think few people changed their minds. But a win is a win!

She won by 800 votes in a very Red district! Your right a win is a win!!

See, almost 800 votes in this context is a big margin; in a Presidential year, I believe it would be relatively tight. A win is a win, and all I'm trying to do is tamp down a little on the enthusiasm I'm seeing that AFAIK is *not* based on "swing voters" changing sides.
