Russell Gilbert wins special election to Council District 5

According to the latest uncertified results from the county election commission, Russell Gilbert will be the newest city council member, replacing interim Councilman Luther Shockley in the Fifth District.

Gilbert defeated Joe Rowe by a (tentative, and rounded) eight-point margin.

Jeffrey Wilson, who withdrew after the deadline, still received almost 12% of the vote.

Any comments on the heartbreaking (apparent) 10-vote loss (out of over 11,000 cast) by Gregg Juster in the School Board, District 4 race? (I hope he pursues a recount ... any time a race is decided by less than 0.1 percent, I think it's a good idea to recount just to make sure the ballots cast were recorded accurately.)
