East side (Lindbergh Elem Prec 40) just had me at about 7:45 AM.  Guess it doesn't hurt that the only things on the ballot were Mayor, City Auditor and the three other city ordiance questions.

The firestation at 15th and Florence(?) said that they'd actually seen more traffic than usual (at 9:00am).

Looks like the informed people in Florence Park are showing up for Maria.

All of the people I was hoping wouldn't win are leading early on. 

For the love of all that is holy, at least don't let Roscoe back on the Council.

Or Mautino.

Ahem. It appears the poll was pretty darned accurate.

About the only outlier is that Phil Wood is losing in badly after the poll showed it neck-and-neck. But I attribute that to nearly all the undecided voters going against him. There was an avalanche of endorsements for Wood's challenger from all sides in the final days before the election. And Doerflinger wound up being a pretty strong candidate, despite a lousy surname.

Bartlett %44
Adelson %38
Perkins  %18

The devil is wondering what % of Tulsa votes....my guess is %9 of the city population.

Care to guess?

Is it %18  or just %8?


Whatever, FOTD came closest in the early prediction...before the Whirled even!

Now for a post-election prediction:

Bartlett will get the police Helicopter(s) back in the air, but it will be for show and at the expense of less visible city needs.

Maybe they'll turn off all the acorn lights.

I like the helicopters. They flew so much in my neighborhood last summer, we had lower ozone levels.

Unfortunately most of the Acorn streetlights are in areas with high pedestrian traffic where streetlights are more necessary. 
Most people dont realize that streetlights are for pedestrians, not cars (with headlights).

Its almost like downtown got a heroin habit -- and we are stuck using the bad lights until we have something more economically and visually efficient to replace them with.
