• Every Vote Counts

    Today the City of Gainesville held a run-off election for Mayor.  It was between a longtime politician and a person with no political experience.  Well, the politician won, but by only 35 VOTES out of more than 12,000 votes casted.  I guess that represents about 16% of the registered voters, which is sad, but considered a good turnout.
