Final Results

NBC 10 declared Abraham the winner, 56-44, with 94% of precincts reporting. My local races' results have come in also. No surprises there. What is most notable is that in my immediate area only about 11% of eligible voters took the time to vote. I talked to people I know who live in Philly. the general reaction was "is there an election?" Most said they hadn't followed the races, didn't know the candidates and so didn't want to vote. While I understand GOTV efforts, I have to wonder if we actually achieve anything if we herd people who are so purposefully ignorant out to the polls. Color me cynical.
