- How is it that two unopposed, city-wide candidates got more than anyone in the mayor's race or the at-large council seats?
- I calculate that we had 8,527 straight ticket voters between all three parties, but who are the 11,131 other voters? Or the 10,341, if you deduct the write-in and independent votes in the mayoral race?

19 RODNEY CHAMBERLAIN (DEM) . . . . 8,777 19.99
20 DAVID EICKS (DEM) . . . . . . 7,325 16.68
21 RICK MUIR (DEM) . . . . . . . 8,273 18.84
