Election Aftermath

[ChriswUfGator]

It would be interesting to look at the percentage of registered voters who voted broken out by precinct not just the whole city.  It might shed some light on the dynamic of the election.  Interesting to compare it to the general election results as well.

+1

If my suspicions are correct, I'm guessing a lot of Riverside/Avondale, San Marco, and downtown turned out, that a lot of the westside turned out, and that pockets of the northside had a good showing. Again, this is just a stab in the dark, but I'd guess the rest of the city probably had a lackadaisical showing as usual. This are the areas of town for whom this election really mattered.

I would love to see an actual number on registered vs. turned out for each area.

I can speak for one registered R on the westside that voted AB.

If we don't hear differing points of view then this website is much less useful to everyone.  Less crowing might be a good idea.

For starters we need to get Mtrain and Big guy to come back on.  If either of you are out there please post!

Are you kidding? I am DYING for the both of them to show up. Crowing isn't as much fun if nobody hears!

Don't expect any thing good to be said ... Just sayin

I hope they come back on. It's more interesting to have all points of view represented here. A metro environment includes everybody.

Yes.  Even if they think Downtown isn't important.

Since there are more registered democrats than replublicians I'm thinking it was the independents that really influence the elections. Yes we heard a lot about the prominate republicians backing Brown but the news doesn't always represent reality.

Thats brings an interesting point to my mind, Overstreet. Kim Daniels election was that because of her democratic affliation? I voted for her as a democrat, but did the other candidate, Donald Foy, lose because he failed to associate with the demos. He was NPA.
Wasnt he a community activist with the group of fathers against heavy crime in Jacksonville?

Hats off to jerry holland..... An honest election the city can take pride in!

I know I didnt vote for Kim Daniels because she is a nut case, and Im a democrat. Im a chrisitian myself, but I dont agree with Christians that try to push their views on others. And I didnt want her bringing that to the city council and using that as a basis to make decisions. Hopefully she proves me wrong. And Donald Foy actually attends my chruch. I just didnt see him as a strong candidate.

Don't sweat it man.  All the 'christians' will be gone after Saturday.

Shouldn't they be giving out money instead of pamphlets anyhow?   They can't keep it when they leave.

Is it just me or do the Duval County Republicans have a tough time with keeping black politicos in their fold?
Marc Little?
Gwen Chandler?
Glorious Johnson?
Donald Foy?
