Once again outstanding analysis from Lee Becker: Dear Friends, I've done some precinct analyses of the July 15 election results that suggest that incumbency played a significant role in explaining the vote in the Board of Commissioners races and that the beer and wine issue probably did not. Incumbency in this time of rapid development in the county probably is a surrogate for concerns about development. My analysis also suggests that while order on the ballot may explain some of the votes in the Board of Education races, it clearly was not the key factor. The August 5 BOC meeting shows that development, particularly in the south of the county, is likely to be an issue the new board will face when it takes office in January. Go to http://www.oconeecountyobservations.blogspot.com/ for details. I also posted an analysis earlier in the week of the coroner race. It is at http://oconeecountyobservations.blogspot.com/2008/08/oconee-coroner-runoff-outcome-not.html Lee
