Due to the race for the two year Ward 2 City Council seat being decided by 10 votes, and the one year Ward 2 City Council race being decided by 13, both Jonathan Leavitt and Max Tracy have officially asked for recounts to ensure the validity of the process and that the will of Ward 2 voters is heard. Tracy and Leavitt’s campaigns energized many Ward 2 residents, struggling in the midst of a brutal recession, around kitchen table economic issues like affordable housing and livable wage jobs.

“The residents of Ward 2 deserve to know with certainty the outcome of what was essentially a coin-toss election. Many voted for us in hopes of affordable, quality housing and high paying jobs and they deserve a clear outcome since the results of these races have a great impact on the balance of the council,” said Leavitt.

Comment policy

VTD requires that all commenters identify themselves by first and last name. You may wonder why we don’t accept anonymous comments. The short answer is: We want to keep the discourse civil.

You might rightly ask, since most online newspapers accept anonymous posts from readers, what makes VTD so special?

The long answer is: Anonymous comments don’t support our mission. We are a nonprofit news organization dedicated to enhancing democracy through in-depth journalism. Our role is to foster a civil online discourse, and one very simple and effective way to do that is to require commenters to identify themselves. This isn’t a new idea, of course. This is the way newspapers have treated letters to the editor since time immemorial.

As a result of our comment policy, VTD has created a safe zone for readers who want to engage in a thoughtful discussion on a range of subjects. We hope you join the conversation.
