I was wondering about the results and thought maybe some of you were too.

What about the results for the other elections? Alderman-at-large and local aldermen? I couldn't find the results on the Somerville Journal site.

i haven't found those on the globe site yet, either. i guess they'll be in tomorrow's Journal.

The city Web site has a PDF with official results from the election.

Whee, look at all the blanks for alderman-at-large. From re-reading replies to my question yesterday about the ballots, I see that one was apparently supposed to select four aldermen-at-large, not just one... enh. I certainly failed to notice this fact when actually voting, and by the looks of things, so did several thousand other voters. Oh well.

Sometimes people vote for one candidate as a mistake. Often it's done as a strategy. If people feel that the vote will be close, they only vote for one person, thereby not boosting any would-be competition. (Called "bullet voting")

I have no idea how close the Alderman-at-Large race was perceived to be, though.
