Howlett's 46 Percent Highlights 5th Ward Political Erosion
The analysis shows Carter's 82 percent in the 5th Ward and heavy black turnout drove the gubernatorial vote, while Howlett's 46 percent signals weak regular Democratic influence. Other wards reveal Carter support around 88 to 91 percent with Howlett at 70 to 71 percent, and the 40th Ward split 56 to 43. The piece argues the 5th Ward party structure is declining and urges leadership changes.
