"After Hauser, a park board commissioner, was out of the race, her supporters--a majority of whom, like Tifft's, were white--split their votes between Glidden and no endorsement. None of them voted for Hayden."
I don't know where she dreamed up that last statement, but it is absolutely false. I was Head Teller at that Convention, and it is quite clear from the vote counts that in 4 of the 10 precincts (2, 5, 6, & 7), several Hauser voters switched to Hayden.
It's pretty clear from reading the article that not much research was done before writing it. I doubt that the author even talked to any of the candidates other than the ones she quotes to support her positions. Such 'reporting' doesn't give a reader much confidence in the quality of this publication.
