The numbers, Rick Allen believes, are in his favor. The longtime Augusta-area businessman is one of five Republicans running for the U.S. 12th District House nomination to oppose incumbent Democrat John Barrow in the November general election. But Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney got 54 percent of the district’s votes in 2012, and Allen said John McCain would have gotten 60 percent of the vote from the district as currently constituted.
