Poor Sylvan Township. Talk about lose-lose. What next?

Congratulations to Jane Lumm on her landslide victory.

We could use more Jane Lumms on City Council.

In the libertarian wilderness that is Scio, where there was only thing on the ballot (the school board), I was 176 at 6:00 (and that was the combined total of two precincts). I suppose it’s just hard to get excited about such a minor election, no matter how important the schools are to a lot of us.

With all but one precinct reporting in the Second Ward, Lumm appears to have beaten Rapundalo, 2000 votes to 1500 votes. Approximately.

Film at eleven.

We were at 5-4/5 just before 7. We were voters 631 and 632. We saw 10 people arrive after us. There was a guy outside collecting signatures for the PA4 referendum.

FYI: An 8:45 bell at Thurston would be start of school, not recess.

At 1:30 I was the 85th voter in Ward 4, Precinct 5. That was a better pace than the August election, the poll workers told me.

Voter 121 at 1:20 at Bach School. I should have waited a minute. This turnout really sucks. Given that we have the school board with ballot measures that mean real money – why are people staying home? The school board candidates represent some very different viewpoints. It is important that informed voters make good choices! I just don’t understand not voting. Sorry.
