Correct. It says so right in the article and seems reasonable to me...

What many of them were likely actually voting for was the opportunity to have a special election. They probably saw that as being preferable to supporting the Green Party candidate. Queonia “Zarah” Livingston had run on a platform promising to promote “environmental justice,” end the war on drugs, and “reduce gun violence.” We’re talking about a fairly rural district, despite the fact that Democrats seem to hold an advantage there. Gun control and drug legalization were not likely to be winning themes.
