So what are the official results?
ReplyDeleteQuite a margin between Chair and Vice chair, some of the independent guys might have faired better had they had a slate. And how about them three legislature dudes? Duke only got 288 votes, with a family as large as his, I wonder why he didn't get any more than that..
