Could 16,000 Hillsborough residents really be dumb enough to vote for Blair?
August 27, 2008 at 9:23 am by Kelly CorneliusYep! Here are the stats: 16,462, to be exact. Blair has tried to kill our local wetlands regulation (as the chairman of the EPC), he has launched an attack on gays and he thinks the monkeys escaped from MOSI and evidently he has over 16,000 people who agree with him. Welcome to Hillsborough. At least he will face Kevin Beckner in the general election who won handily among Dems last night. Also of interest is that Hagan (who votes like Blair, only refraining from actually speaking………..maybe that is a blessing) was elected by 3,000 more votes than Tom Aderhold in District 2, a race where only 8,000+ voters weighed in total. A last-minute write-in blocked Dems and Independents from voting in that race excluding some 110,000+ voters………. so a handful of people have just sentenced the whole county to four more years of this puppet for special interests.
One can only hope that people will educate themselves before November!

Once again, there ought to be a test. It would be nice think that people are actually informed when they vote rather than going by name recognition. Its also nice to know that we have moved back to the stone age with our new modern voting machines. Definately a step back folks.
