That's about on par with how the recent rounds have been going, plus the turnout is usually a little calmer on the weekends. I say we gotta be grateful that the folks that did show up voted the way they voted. Well, 17 of them

I honestly didn't give it a thought. And now I don't have to... which I guess is the one positive thing about Coppola missing :laugh:
