    Thank you as always Richard Howe for working so hard to provide the data for our perusal. I look forward to your analysis of the results after you have had a chance to reflect on the preliminary turnout and these numbers . I myself am going over the numbers and see a few candidates are only a handful of votes apart. There are only nine slots and the top vote getters, look pretty solid. This may change with a higher voter turnout in November. I am however, concerned with good reason.

    Good work as always Dick. The field looks very tight and promising. I hope that some of the candidates that were at the bottom will make it to the top nine. We will see what happens this November. Good luck to everyone.

    Only 12% turnout? Ugh! This is really new and a little disheartening to the kid whose old precinct turned out 42% for June’s special election. How do we get out the vote in November for our upstart candidates who’ve worked so hard for so long? Thank you for compiling and supplying this information, Dick. Looking forward to your further analysis. We have work to do.
