I have been contesting for a long time that it doesn’t and why I really don’t pay attention to the Washington silliness anymore;
Votes are still being counted across the country, but it appears Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton could win the popular vote, while President-elect Trump wins the electoral college and thus the White House.
At 5 a.m. on the West Coast, the Associated Press showed Clinton with 59.16 million votes nationally, compared to Trump’s 59 million votes.
So let’s talk local silliness. Some big disappointments for the night besides the talking Mango winning president, were Karsky getting elected to the county commission (as he has been telling people, he needed a seat to warm until he can run for mayor). It also looks like ‘V’ failed, but there were some big and surprising wins of the night;
Marsy’s Law wins by a large margin (I voted against this, but I still would be curious how it works).
The biggest victory of the night was the passage of 21 and the 36% rate cap, and the failure of U.
Pam Nelson will remain our Minnehaha county treasurer, Woot! Woot!
IM 22 also passed. A measure I supported but felt it would fail due to the public funding of campaigns. Apparently voters are ready for an ethics commission.
Ref 19Â also failed, which is fantastic. It would have only hamstrung Indy’s more when trying to seek office.
And it also looks like teenagers will be making the same in minimum wage.
So last night wasn’t all so bad. As I said above, I really don’t have time to fiddle with the lies and silliness of DC when there is a lot of that going on right here in our little village. Heck, last night I had to show up again to slap down the lies of our chief liar of Sioux Falls, the mayor, during public input. He really has a problem with facts and history.
