My precinct has 2398 voters.

We had a good time and day went fast.

I wish more people would vote.

2. Shit. I win, then.
We have 3000 voters and 400 showed.

That don't mean I'm all that thrilled with the RESULTS, now, though. :D

3. Looks like we will have a runoff.
That election will really be slow.

My crew is a lot of fun.

We had a good time today.

4. of course more than 44 will complain
but no more than 44 have a right to complain about whatever the vote was about.


:eyes:

what a bunch of apathy

5. I lot of work goes into holding a election.
We had nice day hanging out but I would rather have been working.

Looks like a runoff in a month.

Just a hand full of people made the choice for a whole city.

It was an easy $165 for me today.

6. We had an election this past week in Michigan
13% voted in my county. Better than down there, I guess, but much of the county saw two ballot proposals and some school board candidates.
