Breaking: Holocaust Revisionist Loses 23-1,157 in Write-in Landslide

While the official tally isn't supposed to be released until tomorrow, multiple news accounts are confirming that unopposed Reston Citizens Association candidate Ken Meyercord, who ran into a smidgen of media attention for his views on the holocaust, wound up losing in a write-in landslide. When was the last time that happened?

Ken Meyercord, who had been running unopposed for an at-large seat on the Reston Citizens Association's 13-member volunteer board, received only 23 votes after his provocative views on Jews created a backlash.

Colin Mills, the write-in candidate for the at-large position on the board, received 1,157 votes, according to Mike Corrigan, the civic association's former president and a member of the election committee.

The turnout for the election, which was held Saturday and Sunday the Reston Festival at Reston Town Center, was so heavy that elections committee members had to photocopy additional ballots.

"It's a fabulous result," said Debra Steppel, the former Reston Citizens Association board member behind the write-in campaign. "I' m very, very pleased."

To his credit, Meyercord made a decent point when contacted for comment:

"I think Ms. Steppel should be congratulated for her efforts," Meyercord said today. "All Americans should be as active defending their people, although I think she's misinformed."

At this point, we'd insert our now-stock comment about the benefit of staying informed, etc., etc., but it's late and we want grilled chicken.
