This isn’t to be mean but just an observation as I do a lot of business analysis for a living. It’s intereting to see how many people voted for former, not current, candidates. Total for the 2 districts is Rep = 329 votes, Dem = 251 votes. That’s a total of 580 votes.
Analyze away, that’s why I put it up. I too was rather fascinated by those votes, particularly on the Democratic side.
Interesting - thanks for posting this. Any idea what the 5th district results looked like?
The State Board of Elections has all results, by virtually every tab you could want.
I’m sorry to have to post on a thread, but I was hoping Bill Wade could contact me about advertising. I have sent a few emails over the past 6 weeks or so, but to no avail. Maybe the email system is down again? Thanks, Lesley

Me, too. I’ve sent several messages through the “contact” link about the erroneous calendar postings for classes at the library, and have gotten no response.
