The good news is that Donna Edwards won the special election yesterday for Maryland's 4th Congressional District with an estimated 80 percent of the vote.Bad news:
- In this critical moment in the nation's legislative history, only five percent of the District's voters turned out for the election. In my precinct we had six percent turnout, which is not anything to be proud of!
- Some 3,500 voters cast their votes for Peter James. According to the Washington Post, James "attempts to limit his interactions with government and his personal debt by having no driver's license, bank account, home mortgage or credit card." Thus James does not seem to be a candidate appropriate to represnt our District in Congress.
