By the way, Michelle Bruce, Riverdale, GA city councilperson is in a runoff with one of her opponents.  This is after a very nasty campaign which included a website that made statements about Michelle "fooling" the people of Riverdale into thinking she was a woman last election and constantly referring to her as "he", "him" etc.  The creator of the website was anonymous but it was openly sanctioned by the current mayor.  The mayor will also be in a runoff after finishing second in her election.
