Mike’s Audience Is Bigger Than Devon's Election Night

One of the more amusing facts of this election season:

Mike Leonard of Mike's Reno Report appears to have more followers than Devon Reese received votes.

Think about that for a moment.

A guy with daily article, a Facebook page, and a willingness to ask uncomfortable questions managed to attract a larger audience than a sitting Reno City Council member running for mayor.

Mike Leonard's Reno Report has approximately 6,500 followers.

Devon Reese received approximately 4,200 votes in his mayoral campaign.

That's right. More people follow Mike Leonard than voted for Devon Reese.

Somewhere, a political consultant, and we all know who, is trying very hard not to do that math.

Politics can be brutal.

Politics can be a cruel business.

Then again, maybe voters were sending a message.
