So what are the official results?

[Crow voter]

Quite a margin between Chair and Vice chair, some of the independent guys might have faired better had they had a slate. And how about them three legislature dudes? Duke only got 288 votes, with a family as large as his, I wonder why he didn't get any more than that..

All,

There seems to some sort of issue with the 'crownews.net' Web address right now. Until we are able to figure out what the problem is please go to www.rnnonline.org/crownews to view the Web site. A few new items on the elections, Allen KnowsHisGun and Tuff Harris have been posted in the last week or so.

Thanks for your patience
