Seen and heard on election day

- Two Tim Hutchinson supporters (and probably both deputies) walking into two different polling locations with "re-elect Timmy" shirts on.  One where the poll workers make him turn it inside out and one where he's not challenged at all.

- One candidate, Mark Harmon, being screamed at by the wife of his opponent who apparently didn't appreciate Mark pointing out to a voter that David sued to stay in office.

- Hundreds of voters that seemed completely disinterested in the commission race but yet voted for Mark.

- One Billy Tindell supporter handing out David Collins flyers.

- One Billy Tindell supporter putting up Andy Jackson's yard signs and handing out David Collins' flyers.

- Two David Collins supporters handing out Billy Tindell's flyers.

- Me handing out flyers for Mark, Amy Broyles and Jim Andrews.

- One David Collins supporter that assured me that David was going to win and Mark stood no chance.

- One Hart Intercivic employee being delivered by Sheriff's deputy to deal with a misconfigured eSlate machine.

- One 20 foot long paper tape of the election results

- Four looks of shock when we realize that Randy Tyree, Ken Irvine and Jim Andrews all won at our polling place.

- Two looks of disappointment when Mark Harmon beat David Collins 127-85.

My good friend Amy may have lost but Mark won.  Thomas Deakins also won.  +2 for the good guys on August 3.
