Donna Frye Upsets San Diego Mayoral Election



from The London Times
“Donna Frye is a populist, grassroots candidate, and she’s completely upset the race between the old male Republican guys,” Roger Hedgecock, a San Diego radio talk show host and a former Republican mayor, told USA Today. “No matter what happens, it looks like this thing is going to a lawsuit.”

Republican legal challenges have failed: US District Judge Irma Gonzalez refused to stop the city from certifying the election results on the ground that “write-in” candidates — those, such as Mrs Frye, whose names have to be written on the ballot by voters — were not legitimate.

How bizarre! Who would have thought you could win an election as a write-in candidate? California is such an exceptional place. I think people there like to break with norms just to prove that things can be done.

Wild to think that is the same state that just elected "the Governator." Go figure.
