Complete, but unofficial results in Birmingham Council and School Board elections

Birmingham, Alabama - Only 27,223 voters casts votes today out of 135,156 registered voters in the city. Four Birmingham City Council races were decided without a runoff, according to unofficial results. Let’s take a look at what happen in this corrupt city and depriving politics.

In District 1 – Incumbent Joel Montgomery who served two terms on the city council political career has come to an end on tonight. Montgomery was defeated by second time challenger and propagandas LaShunda Scales. Scales beat out all six candidates in this race winning 51% of the vote. LaShunda I really want to know what you are going to do now for the people, feed them more lies and lies. I want to see if you really going to change things for the better as your violated political signs say. “Real Work, Real Progress”. I was really rooting for my boy Brandon McCray but it seems that his district was ready for the truth.
