Alvin wins by a slim margin, 603 votes to be exact. Kimberly, wins which to me is not an upset.

And now we have a recount, let the shadiness begin.

What is everyone's thoughts?

The race is not always to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor satisfaction to the wise,
Nor riches to the smart,
Nor grace to the learned.
Sooner or later bad luck hits us all.

37 percent voter turnout which is sad, but I am glad someone showed up and Alvin won. Hopefully we can increase voter turnout in the future. All in all, it looks like the people chose to move forward with Jacksonville, Florida and not Cowford, FL with Mike Hogan. Hopefully Alvin can be certified.

Brown won???
In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

There is not a recount under way.  First they have to count the outstanding absentees and provisionals.

Ahhh. Thanks for the information, I was told it was a recount.

Absenteee ballots are normally 2 to 1 Rebuplican, so we will see what happens.

Not in this case. There are aout 1100 of them, and Corrine Brown said to Stephen that she personally delivered a stack of 482 from her constituents to the Gateway Mall precinct yesterday. So...reading between the lines here...it would seem like the worst the absentee ballots are going to get is probably 50/50. Which leaves whatever provisional ballots aren't disqualified, there are 5 or 600 of them, and obviously no way to know that until the final tally is over.

For Hogan to win at this point, every single provisional ballot and every single one of the remaining 600 absentee ballots besides Corinne Brown's stack would have to be for Hogan, and statistically I think that's unlikely.

Right Stephen. It was just a historical reference for going backwards, thats all.

IMO, id like the city to be Cowford, Florida. But i also favored renaming it Michaeljacksonville, since he did much more for the city than president Jackson.
Congrats to MetroJax for their successfull support of our new mayor! We HAVE made history!

Wow, just checked Hogan's Facebook page, and it looks like Jacksonville is being prayer bombed.  Sample comments:

QuoteAll I have to say is...Mike Hogan WILL be Jacksonville's next because Mike Hogan serves an AWESOME GOD as well as I do and I KNOW that MY GOD IS IN CONTROL AND HE WILL PUT HIS MAN IN OFFICE...ENOUGH SAID!!!!
Uh, I think God's got bigger priorities than delivering Mike Hogan to office . . .

Quote"It's in God's hands... sometimes God doesn't give us the leader we need, he gives us the one we deserve. Shame on those Jacksonville voters who did not think voting was worthy of their time. Praying for God's mercy on Jacksonville as the absentee and provisional ballots are counted. Nothing is impossible with our God!"
WTF?

well, to be fair there are plenty of posts on Brown's facebook page about prayer and God.

True enough.  Both of these candidates are very religious men.  Many of their supporters share their faith.

/\ True. I was just struck by the overtly religious tone on Hogan's page, and a tad offended that we're apparently supposed to be praying for God's mercy because Brown's prospective win is some sort of judgement on the city . . .
