More interesting tidbits from the ward results:
RT himself got got more votes in the 13th Ward (which had no council race)
than the total amount of votes in each (separately) of the following wards:
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th. All but the 4th had high profile council races.
Same scenario for RT in the 11th Ward. What has to be scary for the Mayor
is that the 10th, 11th, and 13th Wards have traditionally had the highest
voter turnout, while the 3rd, 5th, and 6th Wards have traditionally had the
lowest turnout. Guess who's base is in the former category and who's is in
the latter?
Dean E. Carlson
Ward 10, East Harriet
