Sean Wright is the winner stop this non sense and call it, its been almost a month idiots
This is embarrassing that its this close and Antioch residents have not figured out it needs new elected leaders to fix this city. 102 votes shows me many people still have their heads in the sand,
Imposter!
I agree with Mr. Simmons to some extent. However the fact is Lori split the vote between her and Sean. Had she not run Sean would have been hands down winner. The reverse would have worked had Sean not run Lori would have won. Harper counted on the split vote and that was why he was making tacky jokes about it at last night council meeting. After all that is how he won in the first place, Agopian and Freitas split the vote.
Geez, who’s counting these ballots? Hopefully when their done we’ll get our bags back at the store.
