First, in a field of 19, 10% is very good. The percent on the table is calculated using the total number of votes cast in the Library election. This is up to six votes per voter. If every candidate got an equal number of votes, that would mean that each would have received 5.26% of the vote.
Second: Besides the 10 forums that Laura Wittstock organized, Laura and I have been out campaigning since this spring--at a number of neighborhood events, door knocking and getting our literature to the doors of voters. I've also seen Alan Hooker, Rod Krueger, Laurie Savran and Gary Thaden out in the communities and neighborhoods of Minneapolis.
