>Priscilla Dunn top vote getter in special election.

There will be a runoff between Priscilla Dunn with 2006 votes (33.73%) and Merika Coleman with 1725 votes (29.01%). Congratulations to both Dunn and Coleman.

CW says most of Alexander’s and McAdory’s votes will go to Dunn, and Scott’s votes will split, putting Dunn over the top in the runoff.

The big story is that almost nobody voted. Out of 72,104 registered voters only 5947 people voted. That is a dismal 8.25%.
