As an "R", I walked in, picked up a "D" ballot, voted for Angela and was going to walk out. Then I saw Larry Vaughn's name and had to fill in that little circle too.

Sad that other "R's" didn't do the same thing since they didn't bother to put up anyone up for our district. Guess District 1 doesn't matter.

Congrats to Christine!

Flogger, The Libertarians are no better. I think the better thing is to vote only for individuals in either party known for honesty. Just skip voting in the rest of the races. If you cannot find an honest candidate, put your ballot in the machine unmarked.

This may be my first election where I do not vote....

This may be my first election where I do not vote. I may just vote Libertarian if I do at all.
I suspect the turn out is going to low. I do not believe Brewer vs Smoking Joe Hogsett is going to bring people out to vote.

Congratulations to Councilor Scales for winning.

I heard of anecdotal evidence that there were numerous people that crossed over to the Republican primary in District 3 to vote for Councilor Scales, whom likely will come back home in November to the Democratic side.

So I wouldn't read to much into the raw vote numbers for council in District 3. I also know of many people whom if a race is unchallenged don't bother to fill in the oval of the unopposed candidate.

So if there's a 12-12 tie after November now t...

So if there's a 12-12 tie after November now that the at-large seats are gone and Scales wins, Scales has the tie-breaking vote. The Dem caucus could vote for Scales for Council President in exchange for committee chairmanships. This just gets more interesting by the day...

She has the skill, ability, and integrity to do it right. I wish to nominate her as a write-in candidate for Mayor!

When Jim Brainard completes this term, he'll have served longer than old man Daley and he'll tie Daley the younger in mayoral terms. Ponder this for a second - Kids born and raised in Carmel since Jim Brainard took office are now eligible to vote for him.

It's a sad day in Carmel. Not only did the RINO mayor win, but his slate on the council took over incumbents that were his only check and balance. Scary and depressing. I'm glad Scales was a good guy who won.

A sad day when a hardworking councillor like Angela Mansfield is booted for the likes of LeRoy Robinson.

Given the election results in Indianapolis and the surrounding counties (Brainard, really?), I'm glad I no longer live in Indiana.

Congratulations To Christine Scales in her victory...

Congratulations To Christine Scales in her victory against the utterly corrupt Marion County GOP machine. It is pleasing to know we have one Republican on the Council who is above reproach.

Also thanks to Jocelyn-Tandy Adande for the courage to stand up to the corrupt attorneys who are doing their best to turn Indianapolis into a debt-ridden suburb of South Detroit. I've never been so proud to cast a vote for Mayor of Indianapolis as I was today when I opted for Jocelyn.

Congratulations Christine.
