Official election results
It is unfortunate that neither Eric Hartley, "Democrats' win is
not a mandate" (The Capital, Nov. 5), nor Paul Foer ,"Now that he's
elected, will Cohen really bring about change" (The Capital, Nov.
5), waited to learn the official results from Tuesday's general
election before discounting Josh Cohen's win in the three-way race
for mayor.
Certainly it is true that the election was won by Mr. Cohen with
less than 50 percent of the vote. But is that surprising in a three-
way race with a determined Independent siphoning votes from both
major candidates? Apparently so because Mr. Hartley declares the win
"not impressive" while Mr. Foer refers to it as a "narrow victory."
