My impression is that District 4 is heavily R, at least in municipal races. I do not have a breakdown by party that you just mentioned. Where did you get that? I'd like to check into it unless it is privileged information. The official results do not contain a party breakdown. At the polls, we do not ask what party in the general.

I was just amused by the characterization of Council District 4 as heavily Republican. It's not and has not been. This year is the first in recent history and probably forever that Republicans actually outnumber Democrats in any Council District. <br />It is true District 4 tends to vote Republican. In 2015, 821 more Republicans than Democrats voted in District 4.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9299655.post-91443804816244679862015-12-04T11:10:14.234-05:002015-12-04T11:10:14.234-05:00When I look at these comments, ibis really hard to...When I look at these comments, ibis really hard to miss the negative tone at all but one comment.
