Shirley Town Council – North Ward - Hancock County IN
Vote for 1
Rebecca (Becky) Hammer (R) 92
Dennis Denney (L) 93
Libertarian leads by one vote in Indiana town, Shirley.
Election night totals are not final till absentee and provisional ballots are counted.
I wonder whether GOP election officials will accept defeat or find extra ballots.
I suspect the local LP is not prepared for a contest, whether honest or crooked.
In other Indiana LP news, one incumbent reelected, one Indianapolis city council member defeated 25-75%. In Greenville, my friend Phil Miller got 42% in a two way race against a GOP candidate. I've never heard of Shirley IN, but if it's not near rt 70 or 40 I could have missed it. map
“The benefits of voting to the individual voter are elusive (a vote in a political action rarely has any instrumental value, since elections for political office at the state or federal level are never decided by just one vote), and even very slight costs in time or bother or out-of-pocket expense deter many people from voting, or at least from voting in elections they’re not much interested in. ”
