Cynthia vs. Cynthia

Tomorrow we have an election in West Tisbury. There are two candidates for the post of Assessor. Both are named Cynthia. The incumbent, who has been in all of two months, is Cynthia Mitchell, the challenger Cynthia Riggs. This is one of those elections where getting our your vote will be crucial to your election.

Ms Riggs has a die-hard coalition that I'm sure will come out to vote even if we get the predicted rain. Although Ms Mitchell is a former Selectman and Treasurer, she may have a hard time getting out her backers, as, based on the campaign, she seems a shoo-in. Over-confidence by her supporters, the rarity of an election in mid-May and the weather could doom her candidacy. But, my crystal ball says Ms Mitchell in a surprisingly close race.
