Be The Poll - Fake Mayoral Runoff

May. 15, 2009 1:46 pm
More than 340 votes were cast in the Cedar Rapids mayoral poll I posted a week ago. High turnout, indeed.
And the top two vote-getters were former Iowa House speaker Ron Corbett with 151 votes, 44 percent, and City Council member Brian Fagan with 100 votes, 29 percent.
So this week, it's time for a Corbet-Fagan runoff to decide the winner. It's just like a real election, only much smaller, totally fake and subject to lots of electronic manipulation.
Still, do your fake duty.
