Eight out of nine of the members of the "ID" supporting school boardwere up for re-election.
100% of them were defeated. Eight out of eight -- every single one of them was given their walking papers by the voters.
Deal with *that* "big loss in percentage terms", and stop trying to spin it.
With the votes hanging around the 50% mark, losing all eight is a 1 to 255 shot. You'd make more money betting on the double zero.
Spin is spin, but less than a hundred votes separating out of 5-thousand cast makes it under 2%. That's like Toomey-
Specter here last year.
