Um... at least, if winning means having the same opinions as most people. <br /><br />The city council race looks extremely close, which is probably at least partly a by-product of living in a small town. About 3,000 out of 10,000 eligible voters cast ballots, which I think is darn good for a local-only election with zero statewide or federal races. "My" candidates lead, but there's only 16 votes separating Gottschalk from the fourth-place candidate! I suppose this means there will be some sort of recount. The whole field is tighter than I would have expected - the last finisher, in sixth place, still has more than half the votes as the overall first-place candidate.<br /><br />Our school district barely passed the 55% threshhold, and the college barely missed it. It looks like the two incumbents on the community college board were re-elected, along with a third person who I trust will do well.Christopher Charles Horatio Xavier King III, Esq.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17305941155602648384noreply@blogger.com
