Phaedrus: Will OpenCDA Protest Vote?

RE: “The Lakeland District’s $940,900 two-year levy received 1,007 “yes” votes, representing 55.27 percent of the 1,822 votes cast” — Maureen Dolan, Coeur d’Alene Press

Phaedrus: Curiouser and curiouser. The Lakeland levy won by just 5 VOTES, Will Dan Gookin and Mary Souza be hysterically demanding a recount? Will he and his cohorts want to examine the ballots? Will they sue to have the election thrown out? Why do they trust that the school board running their own election — hardly a neutral third part — did everything EXACTLY right? Did any of the voters who supported the levy vote absentee? Was every envelope time stamped? C’mon Mary Souza and Dan Gookin inquiring minds want to know. Or doesn’t any of this matter because you BFF Ron Nilson got his beloved taxpayer funded, employee training center?

Question: Does anyone want a recount of 5-vote victory in Lakeland School District levy election?
