Ferguson Election Result Changes The Face Of City Council

Voters showed up at polling places in record numbers for a municipal election in this St. Louis suburb on Tuesday, tripling the number of black representatives on Ferguson City Council by electing two black candidates.

Tuesday's election in Ferguson would have been historic no matter the outcome. Three incumbents decided not to run, leaving half of the council's six seats up for grabs. The council now has one black member who was not up for re-election, and two black candidates were vying for one of the open seats. That meant city council was assured to have at least double the number of African-Americans once the votes are counted.

1. That sounds good.

Maybe the citizens can regain control of their city.

2. Don't be too surprised if the law'n'order types outvote the reformers.

It all depends on who they're more sick of, the corruption at all levels of city management including the cops or the rotten kids doing street crimes.
