Psycho Posted September 17, 2006 Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 In the District of Columbia, there are 428,000 adults who are eligible to register to vote but only 289,410 (32.8%) are. On September 12, 2006, of those 289,410 people who could have voted, only 103,406 (35.7%) did. The total number of adults in the District of Columbia who could have voted, only 1 of every 4.15 did. In other words, 75% of the people in DC never seem to want to vote! Thus, the winners of each race were not winners, there was no public mandate but the people showed once again how disgusted they are with DC politics, the poor choice of candidates and how they see DC Government as a joke and just a bunch of pawns on that Congressional chessboard! In sum, there were no real winners just losers because we only had losers to chose from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psycho Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 I sure was and gave my votes to Gordon and Strauss in vain. And Jonathan R. Rees was on the ballot, last time I checked. B. Frank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcvoter99 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 Gordon and Strauss would be appalled to be associated with you or even take your 29 votes, even if 28 were by accident. But it is true, the negative campaigning, and Rees, you only had negative campaigning, only serves to turn people off and not vote. I sure was and gave my votes to Gordon and Strauss in vain.

Psycho Posted October 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Every candidate claims that they were the victim of negative campaigning and Gordon, Rice, Strauss and Wiss claim it came from Cheh supporters against them and they know the people behind it! Gordon and Strauss would be appalled to be associated with you or even take your 29 votes, even if 28 were by accident. But it is true, the negative campaigning, and Rees, you only had negative campaigning, only serves to turn people off and not vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
