I am completely frightened by these results.
More so, when I was at the polls at district 5 at 5 pm, there had only been 67 Dems who voted.

We all should have known it was coming. When you don't get out the vote in SoWal, and the rest of the county votes -- well, the writing was on the wall with this one. We don't turn out the vote, we have a carpetbagger representing us for four years. Four years of Scott Brannon and Cecelia Jones representing the south part of the county.
Anyone want to explore ways to secede from the county? How 'bout a Sons of Liberty style dumping of tea into the Choctawhatchee Bay to protest taxation without representation?
"you get the gov't you deserve." don't know who said it first, but damn. just damn. time to start bombarding her with emails and letters. I'm not advocating putting poop in anyones driveways or mailboxes. That is probably illegal.
I think you can tell by the low turn out at the regular BCC meetings that people don't care about their local gov't enough to show up. It really isn't surprising that they don't show up at the polls.
I wonder how many of those "registered voters" actually live here, vs just establishing residence to not pay capital gains taxes on their second homes when they sell it. -- hmm?
Gov't loves to see such low turn out at the polls, and public meetings, because it means they have free run of the house, and can do whatever they damn well please.
Alan Osborne, thank you for running. It will probably take a long shower to get rid of some of that mud. I wish the results had been different for our sake, but it is what it is.
