I got nothin...

The only election that counts in DC is the Democratic primary, and that was last month. And it doesn't count for much.

Though a friend of my mom's won "Shadow Senator". He had a couple of things going for him: 1) his name was first on the ballot in a completely worthless position, and 2) his name was the same as a fairly popular mayoral candidate who dropped out of the race. Apparently some people thought they were giving the mayoral candidate a consolation vote.

He got more votes than the guy who won the mayoral race.
