Officially the Gracedale referendum question received 19,690 YES Votes and 7,406 NO Votes. We believe that if the scare tactics used were non existent, the question would have probably received 90% of the vote.
How big was this victory for Gracedale? Well consider that at 19,690 we were above the required number for the petition drive of 19,621, and actually very close to the 23,391 petition names collected.
Further consider that if you add 19,690 with 7,406 you come up with 27,027...and that Norco is a pretty good number for a primary.
Lastly, consider that not one candidate running came close to the Gracedale numbers.
The people spoke loud and clear. Unfortunately, John Stoffa, Ron Anglke and their flunky Bernie O'Hare do not hear them and do not care.
