He Would Have Come in Second if Fewer People Had Voted for Him


Just saw this article by David Taber in the local paper, It’s down to two - O’Malley, Hennigan prevail in local council race:
Over half of the 7,203 ballots in the Oct. 19 preliminary were cast for O’Malley, who received 3827 votes—53.17 percent of the total according to unnofficial results provided by the City Elections Department. But he would have come in second if the only people who had voted for him were the 750 who showed up at his September campaign kick-off, presuming they were District 6 residents.
What?
