Thanks, Lou.<br>*Very* hurriedly, I've updated the election stats for 1999-2009. As you said, no surprises. Voter turnout clearly correlates with competitive races.<br><br><a href="http://rpwiki.wetpaint.com/page/2009+Election+Results">http://rpwiki.wetpaint.com/page/2009+Election+Results</a><br>

My apologizes for being slow, but after a day without direct adult supervision, it takes a while to get the COC stabilized.<br>
<br>
There were no surprises in the election, all those that ran won.<br>
<br>
Total of 220 ballots cast, including 1 absentee.<br>
<br>
By ward that is: 62, 53, 44, 38, 19, 4.<br>
<br>
Archer got a total of 183 votes. Again by ward 60, 45, 41, 25, 9, 3<br>
<br>
Ward 1, Walker 61.<br>
Ward 2, Thompson 47.<br>
Ward 3, Lingua 43.<br>
Ward 4, Henry 38.<br>
Ward 5, Rivas 19.<br>
Ward 6, Allen-Smith 4.<br>
<br>
The differences between ballots cast and votes received are do to write-ins and non-votes (ballot not marked).<br>
<br>
I think the showing in wards 4,5 and 6 is noteworthy. Those Council members received 100% of the ballots cast in their wards. That is not to take away from the results in the other wards.<br>
