Our elections are always a little weird but this one was over-the-top. I can't believe all the precincts running out of ballots. And don't you find it strange that all the bonds passed with such big majorities (usually something liberals would do) while Prop 5 went down? I had the city clerk say on Channel 2 that they thought a lot of people from outside Anchorage tried to vote.
