HoustonChronicle.com - A new mayor, vote glitch and recount talkDespite equipment breakdowns and a temporalily lost ballot box, the results are in.
Lyda Ann Thomas beat Johnny Smecca by a 2 to 1 margin. They also voted to allow votting on the issue of paying for parking on the seawall by a 2 to 1 Margin. Smecca who was opposed to letting the voters have a say in the parking proposal seems to have outspent Thomas, and received rath of the voting citizens. Presumably for his arrogent stance.
A proposal to to modify the city charter to allow local control of city pensions was passed by only 2 votes! A recount is sure to happen. It only goes to prove that every vote does indeed count.
