Results from runoff.


 Candidate                                    Total    Pct.         Early      Elect. Day
 Ivy R. Taylor .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .     50,659   51.70        34,070        16,589
 Leticia Van De Putte.  .  .  .  .  .  .     47,328   48.30        30,813        16,515


Based on the early voting, I suspect some folks knew it was over several days ago.  The groups who would be likely to turn out based on last minute to a "get out the vote" appeal, Republicans and blacks, would tend to support Taylor.  So Van De Putte would have to identify her voters AND get them to vote.
