Gonzo the Face Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) The important thing is that there are no politicing sound trucks, but does any body have anything to say on WHO won, or is that a secret until the checks clear?

MrBrad Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 I've heard that it was a primary election; at least that was the case where I live. The real thing happens sometime in December. Ugggh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mapguy Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 (edited) Rather surprised that the bodacious challenger to the "establishment" incumbent did so well! It seems that there was some serious money in back of her in any case, regardless of good looks. The incumbent did pull a tactic that should be part of US electoral law, actually extended: For one year until election day, all candidates for national American political office must retreat to a monastery/nunnery until voting day.
