Council District 4 Special Election -- Latest News


The 3 o'clock count was just over 2500 Dems. That means the turnout is just under 5% of the 58,000 Registered Dems. We have thirty minutes to close of polls. The turnout out here (13-36) and from calls across the district in the post 3:00 PM tally is also very very low. Look at the above picture. It was taken around 4:15PM. It looks like high noon in an old Western. No one was in the parking lot, on the streets, or in the voting booth. The low turnout should favor Don but we have only a few hours to find out the actual answer.

Update from Delegate Roger Manno
Just got off the phone with Delegate Manno. He told me that the combined Leisure World precincts is 1442 for both parties,. approx. 20% was GOPers. Meaning that 1,100 Democratic voters came from these two precincts. And if turnout is around 4,000 Democrats that this key group will supply over 25% of the total Democratic vote.
