Using the published results from the secession campaign of 2002 and the last mayoral election, the Bill Wyatt campaign has exhibited how the primary can be won on the first round.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 1, 2005 -- Using published results from the secession election of 2002 and results from the last mayoral election, the Bill Wyatt campaign has exhibited that by reviving the issue of secession in the 2005 Los Angeles Mayoral primary the election can be resolved in the first round of voting.
Bill Wyatt can win this election if the voters who turned out and voted for secession recognize this opportunity and vote again in the March 8th primary. Bill Wyatt is the only candidate in this election that ran in the 2002 secession campaign who is challenging Hahn with the issue of secession in the upcoming primary. The incumbent Mayor Hahn won the last mayoral runoff in 2001 with 53% of the vote, 293,273 votes in the runoff. In 2002 the secession measure got 342,287 votes, 20% more than enough to win this election in the first round during the primary.
In fact, because of the light turnout in the primary that Antonio Villaraigosa won in 2001 before facing Hahn, only 250,000 votes were necessary to win a majority, which represents only 73% of the secession turnout. Therefore if only 3 out of 4 secession voters return to the polls and vote for Bill Wyatt it will deliver a knock-out punch to the rest of the candidates in the upcoming election. For secession supporters it would clear the road for a nonpartisan administration that would encourage directly elected community representation in all parts of LA, North, South, East and West.
The Bill Wyatt campaign also points out that by resolving the election in the primary, without a run-off, Los Angeles will save hundreds of thousands of dollars directly by not having to publicly finance a run-off and Angelinos will save millions of dollars by not having to contribute to additional campaigns. The Bill Wyatt campaign claims that these projected scenarios are totally feasible just by getting out the secession vote in 2005. Bill Wyatt states, "It is time to set the record straight. Self-determination is more than a cause, it's a right."
Details & Background: Bill Wyatt is a 44 year old candidate in the non-partisan municipal election that will be held on March 8, 2005 for mayor.
