Special Report: Raymond Demands a Recount
in the 2024 Mayoral election, East Santa Cruz
11 / 5 / 24
As most of you know, Raymond is making his second bid for the office of Mayor of East Santa Cruz today. His campaign in 2022 was unsuccessful, but he has optimistically thrown his hat into the ring again, running on the same platform:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ VOTE RAY! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Breaking News: Santa Cruz Sentinel - evening edition- 11/5/24
After losing by only 8 votes in his second bid for Mayor of the East Side today, candidate Raymond’s campaign manager is claiming election mishandling and is demanding a ballot re-count. Sources close to the campaign tell us they have proof that a gang of Russian Blues and Japanese Bobtails tampered with the ballots, and were responsible for duplication of votes in a clandestine attempt to steal the election in favor of Cuddles of Fairmount Avenue. Ray’s supporters will not concede and are organizing a peaceful rally and protest down at the Town Clock tonight and tomorrow.
However, as there were only 23 total votes cast in the entire election, the re-count will take only about fifteen minutes. Raymond, in an exclusive statement to the Sentinel, said that should he be forced to concede the election, he may consider running again in two years. But, for now, he will just go out and take a nap under the bougainvilleas until dinner time. His future political plans are yet to be determined.
You have my vote, Raymond. Also, Sharron, I loved the little graphics and layout of this post. What a fun approach!
Go, Raymond! You ran a great campaign and had my full support. In light of your inexplicable non-win this time I would recommend conserving your political - and all other - energies ready to hit the next election with a bang - and hey, that's licence to chill for the next two years. Seize the moment, friend!
