In This Week's Election, the EDR Was A-OK

The registrars of voters looked at the numbers late Tuesday night. 

They were not earth-shattering in the context of more than 5,000 votes being cast in total, but nevertheless they were deemed significant.

"For the first time, the numbers were not bad," Democratic Registrar Judith Beaudreau said on Tuesday night. 

What is on the horizon for the EDR?

"Oh just wait until next time," Republican Registrar John Anderson said. 
He's probably right.
