While past performance is no guarantee of future performance the relative weights of each of the four representative district which have portions that comprise the 19th State Sen District supplied roughly the same percentage of the district total each of the four elections held since the 2002 reapportionment created the current 19th State Senate District.
Relative turnout is less predictable in a special election,but if this trend remains constant it could impact the outcome of the upcoming special election.Who controls what geography is always important,but when it looks lopsided enough to favor a specific area contestants must either get their fair share from that area or significantly drive up their numbers elsewhere.

Gee John, your wife isn't at all what we needed on the council. I intend to ask for a meeting with her to ask her how on earth she can comment on WFH as she has done. I would like to interview her to see what she knows about land use. Because my suspicion is that she knows nothing. Yet she would slam the good people in the Civic League because George and Paul and Pen told her too?
RUBBER STAMP???? $#30K to elect this???
I just finally reached Lisa, your phone rang and rang and rang yesterday so I didn't think I would ever get a chance to speak with her if you didn't even have an answering machine to receive a message.
We spoke at length about issues between land use and government in NCC and many of the specifics about what WFH is, how it got to be and how much it will cost everyone in Delaware if left as is.
So, thanks Lisa. I am assembling the packet you requested and I am very much looking forward to our meeting at the Newark Library.
I am sure you have passed on my apology to John for using this method of trying to reach my councilperson when there was no phone answering device available at the time.
Hope you get your computer problems straightened out.
Hi Nancy,
I'm glad you were able to talk with Lisa. Sorry about the answering machine problem. I think it was a 6 hour problem ,you just happened to call during that 6 hours. Sorry for any inconvenience or confusion.
John
