Looking At It Another Way

There are some who feel that the "Not Caruso" votes of 548 people who refused to name a choice, shouldn't be lumped in with the write-in votes.

So, if you wish to be hyper-technical about breaking down the vote, the results are as follows:

Independent D. Sutz   1,316 (48.6%)
Republican R. Caruso 1,116 (41.2%)
Unnamed                        548 (16.8%)
Conservative R. Caruso 272 (10.1%)

A Victory for Mr. Sutz.
