Dem's Lose 2 Seats on Alexandria City Council

Tuesday, May 5, 2009

Tim Lovain (D) loses to Frank Fannon (R). Also, Justin Wilson (D) loses to Alicia Hughes (I). See the horrible results here. Between these election results and the near loss of Charniele Herring (D) back in January, what on earth is going on in Alexandria these days? [Note: Alexandria went 72% for Barack Obama in November 2008, so this is about as "blue" a place as you can get]

UPDATE: Part of the answer is that turnout this year was 15.3% this year, down from 19.8% in 2006. Not good.
