[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I split my vote between GOP and Dem so I am not pleased it went all Dem. Maybe this is exactly the wrong thing to say because it's officially nonparty race, but the GOP needs better candidates. Karloutsos was good in person but not enough people knew what she stood for, she has Trump connections, and she's a bit of a carpetbagger. GOP at large folks had some of the same issues (tho didn't have a vote splitter like Mobasheri). In any case, parents are going to have to turn out if they want to keep the Board in check. No killer issues with any particluar dem, just too much. Course there are barely any GOPers left in any Fairfax elected positions. Big Blue. [/quote]

If all the votes for Mobasheri had gone to Karloutsos, Tholen would still win by a very large margin.

Tholen cleaned up in all the Dranesville precincts that feed into Herndon, McLean, Marshall and Westfield.  She also won most of the eastern Langley precincts.  Karloutsos only won a handful of precincts in western Great Falls like Forestville.  Mobasheri won none.

The Republicans earned this. By aligning their message entirely with a subset of Langley parents in western Great Falls (“One Great Falls”) who demonized the School Board and expressed disdain for the rest of the county, they ensured the defeat of their candidates. [/quote]
