Well, the election results in the hotly contested Republican primary are in.  Considering that our electronic voting machines busted and the polls were ordered to stay open an hour later, things went about normal.

The incumbent DA, John Healey (see Republican white sheet below), won with 52% of the vote.  His opponent was proudly endorsed by Sheriff Milton Wright, which cost her between 500 – 700 votes, easy.  The dude’s endorsement is the kiss of death.

“Honey, you’d be better situated hacking off Superman than pleasing Milton Wright.  I mean, both are going to get you in a whole mess of trouble, but at least Superman has a red cape and all,” Juanita explains.

Rumor has it that the Democrats have designed a yard sign for November that says  —

Vote for Democrat Joe Blow
Milton Wright Endorsed The Other Guy.

It looks like a winner to me.

The only other interesting race was on the Democratic side, for precinct chair of precinct 3113.  A.R. Khan ran against Diana Wheeler and won 25 to 1.  Secret ballot?  Not so much.
