Of those 2,000+ about 1,200 apparently realized their error and corrected it. So we gave poor old Roger Price 885/2.18% of our votes for senator! Also, that is plenty enough of a count to have changed a couple of the races. The same thing happened here with one man running for a pretty big position with very little education/experience compared to his competitor. He squeaked in. In Weber County, I noticed almost all of the republicans had a good web presence with explanations of their platforms. The democrats were 2/10 as far as candidates with a web presence. That's the first place the dems could work on here in Weber County. Some interesting trends here in Weber County:

I disagree with the Trib that these should simply be appointed offices. The people should be able to vote for them. But the people need better information about these positions and how the people in office perform them in order to make good decisions.
