Five Things That Defined Yesterday's Election
If the weather had been different, would there have been more voters?
Today is Wednesday, April 6, and yesterday was Election Day. Here are 5 things that defined yesterday's results:
1. Weather: It was a gloomy, rainy day yesterday. Sign-holders donned gloves and ponchos, and often took breaks in their cars to get out of the rain. Luckily today will be sunny. Still, had the election been held today instead of yesterday -- would more people have voted?
2. Recalls: It seems like has soured the mood of elections. Yesterdayenough signatures to force a recall election for Matt Hanson, Pat Wojtas, Jon Kurland and George Dixon.
