    @ John

    How does that work? I thought Trotter ran because most can not stand Underhill and if election had been at large he would have lost.

    Can D2 put up another Republican prior to the general election. If so that would be good.

    Obviously, Trotter was run to keep the primary between Underhill and Alan closed.

    with the close 400 vote in the Judges race is there a recount with less than 1% difference?

    Looks like 4 more years of shenanigans at ECUA.
