That's how Smith won. That and he ran unopposed in an area that has a seriously heavy voting population. I'd like to see how many people voted in CD 12 and did not vote for Smith!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-26307009893452102662009-03-31T00:24:00.000-07:002009-03-31T00:24:00.000-07:00This is why it is possible for a relatively unknow...This is why it is possible for a relatively unknown person to win a Council seat. Only 25% as many people vote.<BR/><BR/>In the primaries and May votes, 7,000 is usually enough to win.<BR/><BR/>In the Chatsworth area, Smith won with an unusually high number of votes, 11,000 total.<BR/><BR/>We can get a Council candidate in the fifth District in May, Paul Koretz. His major oponent is also an animal person.<BR/><BR/>But I still say getting Kathy Riordan elected in the West Valley, along with Alarcon, Cardenas, and Zine, along with Paul, gives five pro animal people on Council.<BR/><BR/>Villaraigosa will be a lame duck in two years and Council will begin to increasingly oppose him.<BR/><BR/>Think Paul for May and Kathy for 2010.Ed Muzikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214241089861837159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-18134260274078565392009-03-30T22:28:00.000-07:002009-03-30T22:28:00.000-07:00I heard that in LA there was something like an 80%...I heard that in LA there was something like an 80% voter turnout for the presidential election and less than a 20% turnout for the Mayor's election.
