Old-school campaigning in District 3
Tuesday, November 4, 2014 by Elizabeth Pagano
While compiling the seemingly-endless list of campaign parties last night, one of the Monitor’s reporters was startled to hear a loud voice outside the window encouraging her to vote for District 3 candidate Susana Almanza. Since compiling the list of election night parties took several hours, it was reasonable to assume that it was an election-related hallucination, but further investigation (running outside) revealed that there was, in fact, a mid-sized sedan slowly driving down the street encouraging residents to vote via megaphone, and vote for Almanza. It’s a small world, after all.
