I am a New Hanover County resident who is fearful of the city encroaching upon me through forced annexation. I would have relished the opportunity to vote.Here is a prime example of the citizens of Wilmington being uninformed. My wife works with a lady here in the city who is a very educated woman but did not know what the issues were and where the candidates stood. My wife then asked her, if she was going to vote for a mayoral candidate, who would she choose. She stated if see were going to vote , she would vote for Mr.Saffo because he is a good looking man.She said she was not going to take the time to vote because she does not really care .This sums up the low voter turnout, which I predicted on this website . Mr. Saffo was depending on a low turnout to secure his position.He knew his base would pull him through.The only good outcome of this election is that arrogant , old man , Jim Quinn is gone!
