Well today we had a special election in Marion County to elect the replacement for Julia Carson (democrat).
Jon Elrod is the young Republican running to replace her and running against Andre’ Carson the democrat and Sean Sheppard the 3rd party guy.
I voted for Jon and was glad to do so. Now if a majority of others did the same thing to keep from electing the grandson of the late Julia Carson, that would be grand.
Here’s hoping.
The results can be found here.
As of the post, here are the results:

UPDATE: Well that is it for tonight. I will check back in the morning and hope for the best in my dreams.
UPDATE II: Andre’ Carson Wins and I lose. Will try again in May and November. I wish I could do more to support the candidates but alas I cannot.
