    Looks like a lot of Medicine Hat Media readers so far aren’t too happy with the results…

    I’m wondering how many of the people voting on this poll actually voted last night.

    Sean says:

    I overheard a story today whereby some women were saying “It’s about time a woman gets in as Mayor.” It seems their only motivation for voting for Frisen was because she was a woman, not because of her stances, speeches, or anything of consequence.

    Because we all know one anecdote is hard data.

    This reminds me of a question I had – if you are admittedly poorly informed, is it better to vote or to not vote?

    Whoops, sorry Sean, I misread your comment.

    Dusty says:

    Any comments I’ve heard anyone mention about Friesen involved the fact that she is a woman.

    I voted in the poll and IRL also. If you’re poorly informed then you definitely should not vote, a big problem is that only a few of the candidates are on the internet. Without going to a conference I found it really hard to become informed, the reason so little people vote is because it takes too much time. Then OH LOOK the Med Hat site couldn’t tell people where to vote either.

    In my fantasy world, there’s a website where every candidate has a profile and a little write up, the site would link to printed articles or videos, and that you’d be able to vote online. That last part is a bit of a far stretch but whatever, it’s my vision.

    Dusty says:

    Found in a News article:

    “Both Chapman and Godin add that the disappointing numbers raise the question of whether it is time for web-based voting to be introduced.

    “It seems like now, if you don’t make it so that people can do it from the leisure of their own homes, they aren’t going to do it,” she says.”

    Welp.

    Vaughn says:

    Dusty/Sean, I think you are taking generalization to an extreme. Surely, you talked with the 6923 people that voted for Julie, personally.

    Dusty says:

    Not in any way, I very specifically said “any comments I’ve heard” which could be the News filtering comments or whatever.

    Comments on any news web site — local, provincial, national, or worldwide — are the new lowest form of discourse.
