Michael Peroutka has won the county council seat he was running for despite hysteria from the PC left and pseudo-right.
The controversial candidate who ran for president as a member of the Constitution Party, who switched to Republican in January, belonged to the League of the South and donated dinosaur fossils to a creationist museum — Michael Peroutka — won 53 percent of Tuesday’s vote to earn a seat on the County Council. Peroutka, 62, earned nearly 1,900 more votes than 31-year-old Patrick Armstrong, a Democrat, to win the District 5 seat.
