Lancaster local elections — the X factor

Nobody knows how the Lancaster School District bond election, the beer-and-wine package sales initiative or the Lancaster City Charter amendments contest will be affected by the general election.

In the six and one-half years I’ve been here, it’s the first time a proposition has fallen on a November general election ballot. There are several ways this could play out.

If local voters are in an anti-government mood, it could work against both the school bond and the charter election (the latter of which I think is going to drop like a rock anyway). Beer and wine are counting on the general election to help their cause, but I don’t really see them overcoming the 62-38 losing margin of 2004.
