Local elections did not become a referendum on the windmill war. This hot topic did bring out a vocal minority, but on election day people decided more on everyday issues: how their children would get to school, what would happen to the rural school and the community center, whether the bus would run at all, and whether their neighborhoods were safe. Communities preferred their own people – those whose actions had actually been seen.
