The poll question was, “who are you leaning toward in the Austin City Council Place 1 race?”
The question was identical to one appearing now at Burnt Orange Report, in which the site administrators seem upset that people are…um…voting.
And without further delay: Perla Cavazos whupped ass with 73% of the vote, while Chris Riley closed with 26%, out of a total 89 votes cast.
Look for the new weekly poll, on top of the right hand sidebar, which will be posted whenever I get around to it.


I have decided to support Perla. Not only did she recieve the support of our local unions but she would be the first Hispanic Woman to serve on the council. I tell people that and they are disgusted and amazed at the fact. With a Perla win, we will also see a majority woman council. Now how is that for change I like to see?
Perla is a strong candidate, but she just doesn’t stack up against Chris’s knowledge, track record, and dedication to issues that concern ALL of Austin.
I do want to vote for Perla in a future election, but Austin needs Chris this time around.
