I've gotten a report of some campaign signs belonging to ANC 5C05 (ANC5C website) candidate Alan Kimber mysteriously disappearing right before the election, but their plastic ties being left behind. Mr. Kimber swears that he put the signs out on the evening of November 6th only to find they had vanished before anyone lined up to vote. In the photo above, which I received via email, the two ties that previously secured a sign to the pictured post are highlighted in the purple circles added by the photographer. ANC 5C05 has had quite an interesting recent history. The election results (which do not yet include any absentee ballots that may have been received) were very close, but gave the victory to incumbent Anthony Rivera who currently faces a retrial on several federal charges related to money laundering. Robert Hall, the commissioner Mr. Rivera replaced after Mr. Hall had to resign when he moved out of the SMD (Single Member District) was recently found guilty on a number of fraud/money landering related charges, and plead guilty to some others (Mr. Rivera's legal troubles relate to his relationship with Mr. Hall). Earlier this year Mr. Rivera, representing himself (this is a trend, Mr. Hall represented himself in his first trip to court, which lead to convictions), sued Mr. Kimber for defamation.

I voted for Kimber absentee. Have they yet been added in to the totals?
No, but absentee votes will be counted in the official results that should be posted within the next week or so. With an election that close, absentee ballots could make all the difference.
