2011 Jacksonville Mayoral Election

[Meeker]

With 252 out of 256 precincts reporting, the Republican is ahead by 14 votes out of 188,520 cast.

Jacksonville is a pretty Republican city (it voted for Bush by a wide margin both times and also voted for McCain) so this could be big for Florida Democrats.

The Democrat now leads by 1,627 votes which is out of recount range.

We also picked up a seat on the City Council.

The woman who won the city council seat is a religious nut.

Well aren't you Mr. Positive today.

Lol.  Well, I'd be lying if if I said I didn't think a significant portion blacks agreed with her on much of this stuff, but those kind of blacks usually don't make it past the primaries.  Did she already win (I'm assuming she's running in an Uber-Safe Black district), or is the election for this position on a different day?

She already won, and it was an at-large, citywide district.
