Voter Turnout massive and "conflicted" on Waste Hauler Issue.

 It was Mayor Hardy who told The Birmingham Eagle that she was conflicted on the issue, If she was, so were many others.
There are approximately  1500 households in the City of Bloomfield Hills. and 1905 votes  cast by  City residents. That would indicate  that all most homes voted on the issue  and  in 400 households more than one resident  voted.

The Marquis attraction on election day however was the race for Governor, touted  as  perhaps the closest ever. 2043 city residents voted in that election.  The difference between between the Waste Hauler vote and the Governor vote was 138 votes. Meaning  138 City resident who voted  Governor  failed to vote on the waste hauler issue. Those potential 138 votes would not have made a difference  in the outcome.


In an election in which 1088 votes were cast and the margin of victory was 271  all the margins separating victory and defeat defeat were small.

Precinct 1: In Person Vote: Yes by 208 votes
Precinct 1: Absentee Ballot Yes by 45 votes.
Precinct 1: Actual Vote:  Yes by 160 votes.
Precinct 2: Actual Vote Yes by 111 votes.
