Congratulations to the candidates who won outright. Nicely done. Fulton County results are posted.
Come December 1, we do this over again for State Senate 35; State House 58; Atlanta Mayor; and more. If you're a candidate facing run-off, thank you for your hard work - you just have to giv a little more!
The AJC is reporting that 24% of registered voters came out to vote yesterday. 24%. Surely we can do better than that.
Do any of the results surprise you?

So do they ever say who got the write-in votes? I can't tell you how much I was laughing writing in "indierockelitist". I'm sure it looked awful partaking in my patriotic duty and laughing about it.
Not surprised exactly since low turnout off-year elections are always weird, but I'm soliciting sales pitches for the District 58 runoff since my candidate didn't make it in. Haven't decided if I'll support Simone Bell or Asha Jackson yet. Why one vs. the other? Comment here or on my blog.
