Election ‘07: Preliminary results are tabulated

September 28th, 2007 · No Comments

We got less than we thought we would to participate but am thankful for all that did take part in our Birmingham mayoral election poll. Fifty-two (52) votes were submitted; 4 of them were disqualified either for multiple IP address use or multiple submissions from an email.

Check out the submission link to see the results as they are posted. Expect the complete details results based on these submissions to be posted tomorrow morning.

While this was not a scientific poll by any stretch of the imagination, it does show the opinion of those that currently read The Terminal. That said, remember that this website WILL NOT be endorsing any candidate for the October 9 election.
