Newest State House Member
I couldn't locate any blogs or news sites with word from yesterday's special general election to fill former Rep. (now Sen.) Beverly Marrero's seat in District 89, but there's always www.shelbyvote.com.
Maybe not many are reporting it because it was highly expected, and therefore not really breaking news, that Democratic candidate Jeanne Richardson won with close to 70% of the votes cast. Maybe not many are reporting it because, in a district that I know has to house some couple-three tens of thousands, only 814 actually voted, according to the election commission's current stats. (UPDATE: 1165 is the actual total, and it's weird, because the addition of absentee and early ballots brought Richardson's count up to exactly 814, which was the total number of polling location votes. I love it when numbers do that.)
