Total number of votes cast: 5,264 (5,024 + 240 absentee ballots = 5,264)
Total number of YES votes: 2,398 (2,205 + 193 YES absentee ballots = 2,398)
Total number of NO votes: 2,866 (2,819 + 47 NO absentee ballots = 2,866)
Do you wonder why the number of absentee ballots for YES votes seems to significantly outweigh the number of absentee ballots for NO votes? By over 4 times?
You need look no further than the recent article in the D&C from Sunday's paper to know the reason why.
"Heyman acknowledged spending $500 of her own money on a mailer to absentee voters."
Heyman used her position as Town Supervisor, accessing a mailing list that nobody from the opposition had access to, in order to send a mailer to the absentee voters pushing her agenda. You can clearly see what happens when only ONE side is allowed to share information.
The majority of those absentee voters only heard one side. Her side.
This is the "open government" you voted for?
