2,524 people voted in my Ward on Tuesday. Last November we had an open mayor’s race along with the city elections. 1,100 people voted. Where did 1,400 people come from? I ran for city council last year and was at the polls all day. I didn’t recognize the people that voted at the same time I always do (8:30 AM). I work our 4th of July ward party, our 3 day Italian feast, have lived here my whole life (3rd generation) and belong to 2 service organizations and two social clubs. These people at the polls on Tuesday were strangers.

Shocking. Thanks for sharing.
As long as we can elect someone who proclaims “ You know me, you can trust
me” and not challenge that, we will have the type of experience you have
cited.
The election is now like last years Super Bowl. It’s over, your team won or lost, and it’s now on other less important things like Dancing with the Stars... The
View.... etc.
We have a dumbed down, non questioning population who in the famous words

CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH
