Berry’s Re-Election Victory Virtually Certain
State results won’t be certified until Nov. 25, but with all the votes in and counted, Berry has amassed a winning margin of almost 50,000 votes. Johnnie McLean, the state’s deputy director of elections, said that Donnan had to get within 10,000 votes of Berry to have the right to ask for a recount.
I’ve got a few problems with Berry, but this was a good result for two reasons:
1) She’s one of only two Republicans still on the Council of State, and we don’t want Steve Troxler getting lonely.
2) Her opponent puckers up to unions. That’s a no go for me.
