Well, the story goes on. Last night they found that with the provisional votes included, that where I had been ahead, I was now behind. The catch is that since I am only behind 4 votes, that is less than 1% of the vote, less than 1 vote per precinct, that means there will be a recount.

Today they began the recount at 2:00pm. Of course, since they had to do the recount, they also now have to do the canvas of the recount of the count of the election. In the meantime, I can’t take down or keep up signs simply because I don’t know for sure what is going to happen. Talk about a continual civics lesson. I have run into enough people who would have voted for me, had they voted, that I could have won this election. I am very frustrated by the 10% turnout and particularly by the lack of interest in the electoral process. The direction this city is going to take could be decided by less than one vote per precinct. Well, it has been interesting.
