[AsburyPark] Landslide Mandate

2005-05-11 Thread bluebishop82
If you look at the numbers, the incumbents are ahead of the rest of the field by more than 200 votes. That's quite a landslide victory. Clearly this is a mandate from the poeple of Asbury Park telling this council to keep the current redevelopment on track. Time to get those 3100 condos

BB82, it's a bit of a stretch calling a landslide when the top vote getter pulls 900 votes out of 8,000 registered voters. If you think the earth moved, I may be wrong about putting you in Lakewood; try California, you'll love the fault. Skip Bernstein 732-542-2688 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

More telling than the mandate (and I'll admit it definitely was) is how it was achieved. There were 2,419 people who voted in 2001, but only 1,915 in 2005. Let's assume no new voters no deaths in the past four years. 504 voters decided it wasn't worth it to show up to the polls this time.

You have to use what's available or else do your own census or study. The other choice is to do neither and have absolutely no idea what's going on. Come on you want to try and adjust the stats and come up with a range - then go ahead. The exercise is still valid and important.
