All righty then.
I don’t trust the “write-ins” total, in the sense that we’re in the realm of votes being tossed in the “under-vote” — ie: the 2016 election is famous for having a record number of people skipping the top line Presidential — how many of those counted as such actually wrote in, oh, Colin Powell or Donald Duck or whatever?
We need a re-count in order to see who really beat who … Khadijah Jacob-Fambro or Ryan Alan Scott — both stuck at 749 votes.
Now. Draw up a line for the spectrum — lefter-most to righter-most, and drab the candidates on the line.
Sad to see Monica Moorehead can’t get to her 1996 tally of 29,083. It’s even a drop from her 2000 total. Maybe it shows a drop of support from the previous regime of North Korea to the new one?
