actually, looking deeper into Walls' campaign record, it's even sadder than i thought. this is his 3rd run for mayor.
2007: 12,500 ballot signatures - 40,368 actual votes (8.8% of the total vote)
2011: 12,500 ballot signatures - 5,291 actual votes (0.9% of the total vote)
2015: 12,500 ballot signatures - ? actual votes
in 2011 he got 12,500 people interested enough in him to sign his ballot petition, but couldn't even convert half of those people into actual votes. yikes.
