QUESTION OF THE DAY: Did the results of Tuesday’s election surprise you?

The campaigning for Missouri's municipal elections is over, and the results are in (the unofficial results, anyway).

Boone County saw plenty of interest for an April election. About 25% of the county's approximately 125,000 registered voters cast ballots Tuesday. A big part of that interest was in the Columbia mayoral race.

Incumbent Mayor Barbara Buffaloe won in a landslide over challenger Blair Murphy, who was funded with more than $250,000 in campaign cash.

Ron Graves, who campaigned with Murphy in his race for the Fourth Ward seat on the Columbia City Council, lost handily to incumbent Nick Foster.

In the Columbia Board of Education race, incumbent Suzette Waters and Erica Dickson -- each endorsed by the teachers' union -- cruised to victory.

Were you surprised by any of the results on Tuesday? Let us know by voting in the poll.
