Good evening,
Please see attached for Brattleboro’s Unofficial Town Meeting Day and WSESD election results. These are the results from the ballot tallies, not including write-in votes, and not including other towns’ results for the WSESD races. The projected winners are in bold.
Note that these are numbers that were crunched after a VERY long day. I will reiterate that they are UNOFFICIAL.
Thanks to the amazing poll workers and the American Legion who made today possible! We had a lot of voters coming through the doors – 29% for Town Meeting Day and 24% for WSESD (these are high percentages for local elections). The day was smooth and safe!
Thank you,
Hilary

Vote
Biggest takeaway for me. Less than 1 in 3 bothered to vote. Only 29%.
compare with our friends north of the border
There will be an apple-to-apples comparison to the American turnout when the Liberals call for a federal election perhaps two months from now.
There’s many movements that could have traction if they found a way to get “new” voters to participate.
The low American turnout also seriously undermines the weight of those who invoke “democracy” or “democratic values” as justification.
of course there's no Article I count
of course
Articles
My ballot started with Article II.
Difficult to count #1
Innumerate Authority
July ends midday because Simon Says So and Does So With A Snark.
The ballot articles begin with 2 because Simon Says So and Does So With A Snark.
but please lecture me about difficult
Pretty sure...
Article 1 is electing the board, moderator, etc.
