2. It was an interesting election

In addition to the sign stealing, one of the candidates on the tea party backed slate disavowed the tea party PAC that gave here $2500. Juanita jean had fun with this development. http://juanitajean.com/2013/05/10/oh-and-tomorrows-school-board-race-just-got-better/

On Election Day the tea party PAC sent out a nasty e mail. http://juanitajean.com/2013/05/11/well-they-have-hacked-me-off-now/.

Three of the four tea party backed candidates lost yesterday. In one race the non tea party backed candidate won by 6 votes. My daughter and I were two of the six vote margin of victory. I spent part of yesterday putting out signs for the non tea party backed candidate. The only tea party backed candidate who won was the lady who betrayed and rejected the tea party controlled PAC the day before the election. I doubt that this lady will be supporting the tea party goals.

We keep telling people that every vote counts. Yesterday's elections are proof of this. Three tea party backed candidates were defeated yesterday.
