With the first release of ballots, Democrats were way out ahead of their challengers in today’s election for Tucson City Council.
In Ward 6, Councilman Steve Kozachik had captured 64% of the vote in his quest for a fourth term, while his independent challenger Val Romero had just 30%.
In Ward 3, Kevin Dahl had captured 58% of the vote, while Republican Alan Harwell had captured 28% and independent candidate Lucy LiBosha had 12%. Dahl was running for an open seat now held by Democrat Karin Uhlich, who had stepped in earlier this year after Democrat Paul Durham stepped down.
In Ward 5, Councilman Richard Fimbres had captured 71% of the vote against a write-in candidate.
Prop 206, which would establish a $15-an-hour minimum wage in Tucson along with various enforcement provisions, was headed for victory, with 60% of voters in favor of it.
Prop 410, which would increase the salaries of the Mayor and City Council, remained too close to call, separated by a narrow margin of 153 votes, with 33,893 votes in favor and 33,740 votes against. An unknown number of votes remain to be counted.

SSDD in the old Dirty T.
No surprise. The city voters get the lunatic government they deserve.
Voters want the same stupid leaders and don’t want to pay them. If salaries were increased would it attract serious players or just more of these idealogues? The elections last night in the east repudiated communist lies and Tucson embraced them.
I love the smell of Tucson Democrat sweep in the morning. It’s even sweeter to see how butt-hurt the village idiots are!
NJ has just been caught “uncounting votes” so Murphy could win. There will be an audit.

The same thing happened to Ruth McClung in 2010. Despite being outspent 7 to 1, she led Raul “Boycott Arizona” Grijalva all night until that last box of ballots was pulled out from under the desk and he miraculously won.
Democrats have elevated cheating to an art form.
The village idiots are the people still living in the city limits of Tucson. Hell, even the gay police chief and his husband reportedly live outside the city where it’s safe.
Odd that the only time right wing cry babies scream about election “irregularities ” or have any concern at all is when they lose.
Cry more losers.
Crow,
That’s because when there aren’t irregularities we win. We only lose when there are.
