Election Results: Final Results

1. Lloyd Winnecke will win big. Book It!

2. What is the hold-up on the election results?? This bs goes on every election. Can’t somebody figure it out? Well, I got a answer. Go back to the voting booths. When they were used we had results in about 1 1/2 hours.

3. The machine still lives.

4. LOL time to move away.

   • See ya

5. Well ain’t dis a mess! No real surprise dat Winnecke won but for da council to be another bunch of machine puppets is what shocked me da most. I bet old Winnecke still got his puppet strings of steel being controlled by dem machine heads dat indorsed him to. I is with bowhunter. Dis darn town is hosed for a good long time. Time to go where da thinkin folks live and dat ain’t Evansville, IN.

6. Could the results be any more sad??

   • Results weren’t Sad, I was very pleased!

7. Way to Go Lloyd!!!!

8. A clean sweep by the winnecke-weinzapfel party!

   Not a surprise….except perhaps to the GOP council candidates who got sold out.

9. Okay, the winners are official. The results are the results. So the only thing that really stirs me up enough to even write tonight is the fact that less than 25% of people registered to vote did so. That is the only truly pathetic result of these elections.

   I could rant for a long time about it but won’t because, when finished, I would still not be any closer to understanding why so few people vote. Hell, you can have a ballot mailed to you ahead of time and even vote for weeks before election day. i mean seriously apathetic majority, what the f*#k is up with you people?

   • Personally, I would prefer that uninformed, uninvolved people DON’T vote.

     Look at what we have in DC if you need proof that the “get out the vote regardless ” idea is wrong-headed.

     An educated, informed electorate is much preferred.

     • Too bad we don’t have enough of those in Evansville. If we did, we would have Davis as Mayor with a Republican council and clerk.

   • The Majority of persons whom vote on any election is our Senior Citizens. I have seen this year after year. Young persons under thirty hardly show up at the polls and when they do ususally if in College they are accompanied by their parents……….those 22-30 rarely show up at their perspective Voting Centers. I too am always saddened by voter turn out. The biggest voter turn out is always when we have our Presidential Races.

10. How interesting is this mess goig to get? Can’t wait to see if the scene changes at all. I would bet the worst of the worst are safe!

11. I rather believe that this election has exposed a fact that we all knew. There is really only ONE party. It is the ESTABLISHMENT party. It runs its selected candidates for office through either the democratic or republican parties, depending on which party at the time is more likely to achieve the desired goal. The money follows their candidate where ever they go and party ideology or party platform does not inter into the mix except where it matches their goals.

    McLeod’s political cartoon in today’s Courier&Press has it about right if he had just added some dining tables in the background filled with fat-cats lighting cigars off of twenty dollar bills and saying, as they pat each other on the back, “chalk up another one boys, this stuff is too easy.”

    • That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. A Republican won the mayor’s race by almost the exact same percentage as a Democrat won the clerk’s race. And then the council remained 8-1 Democrat with Lindsey, a new council member, and Adams an incumbent allied with Davis while some victorious candidates were unaligned with Davis or Winnecke, and only marginally aligned with each other.

      What happened is the voters overwhelmingly rejected manic, single-issue mudslinging and opted for the mayoral candidate who showed calm, cool, collected leadership qualities.

      Go ahead and cry a little, get over it, and move on.

      • When is your State Chairman coming down to deal with your local party miscreants? Imagine, actively endorsing the opposition candidate. Well Johnny got his parting shot in, good riddance to the vindictive former mayor, may we never see his likes again.

        • Rick Davis is the epitome of vindictive. Can’t wait until he is up for re-election in the Treasurer’s Office.

12. Two comments:

    Voter turn-out was pathetic as was the norm. Think we would have had a better turn-out if the C&P had been better at reporting the intricacies of the races and staying out of naming their favorites. But then I dream.

    I cannot believe that Weaver got elected. Of all the at large candidates running, that boy is an idiot!

    • Which should show that something was errr not right about this election, not saying it was rigged at the voting machines, but at a more personal level.

      JMHO

      • Yep. Hope the state dems don’t forsake Evansville at this point.
        Look at the percentage of straight party voters and then at the % of Davis voters. I think the breakdown by ward and precinct will be telling.
