Some of our candidates went way over 10,800 votes with Lauren Cohen leading the way and Greg DeStefano and Camille Eterno right behind. These are the highest opposition totals since 2001 and we won the high schools.
UPDATE
I didn't have slate numbers at first because unlike in past elections, the AAA didn't give them to us by division as they were available. Slate numbers were buried at the bottom of the report and thanks to Francesco Portelos, I found them this morning. Sorry about missing them.
SLATE
MORE/NEW ACTION--10,658
Unity--39,094
The slate numbers at first glance make absolutely no sense since some Unity candidates and one of MORE-NEW ACTION's received fewer total votes than the slate totals. It must be the capping of the retiree vote at 23,500 that explains this. The slate numbers were a raw vote and not weighted. This does make sense as Unity's strongest division is the retirees.

So it looks like you lost to Janella Hinds by a wide margin (and Christine lost to Sterling).
But do we know how the high school teachers voted? Is there a way to recover their votes?

I think you can figure out from the Executive board numbers that the majority of high school teachers voted for Christine and me.
What about just retiree numbers?
Hard to believe Chris wierzbicky gets any teacher votes, since when he was a chapter leader he worked with principal to go after some teachers.
I believe the slate numbers were at the very end of the packet here https://www.dropbox.com/s/lgbtniby7e864vd/UFT%20Officer%20and%20Exec%20Board%20results%202016.pdf?dl=0
Is that what you mean? Also among many interesting numbers is the fact that the person with the most votes was actually Ann Goldman with 39,646.
Did your visit to the hospital to organize nurses result in getting Goldman MORE votes?

Teacher arrested for allegedly forcing students to grope him

'Sex-obsessed' teacher is back in school
Principal tried to push me out teaching job by calling me 'Shrek'
A veteran English teacher at Flushing HS says she was so terrified when a student charged at her and threatened to beat her with a heavy cast on his arm that she blurted out in self-defense, “If you hit me, I’ll kill you.”
Now teacher Eileen Ghastin has been yanked from the Queens school pending an investigation into whether she mistreated the out-of-control teen.
“The kid threatened to assault me, and they’re bringing me up on disciplinary charges,” Ghastin told The Post.
The May 17 confrontation occurred at a long-struggling campus, one of 94 in Mayor de Blasio’s $400 million “Renewal” program to fix failing schools.
Insiders say it illustrates the Department of Education’s new student-discipline code, which discourages punishment.
Ghastin demanded that the teen be arrested and get a lengthy suspension, but a dean would not call the cops. Principal Tyee Chin banned the student for five days — to a two-hour after-school program.
The teen can return to class on Monday, but Ghastin won’t be there. She was sent to a DOE office to do clerical tasks, an exile she calls a “rubber room.”
Ghastin — who has taught in The Bronx and Queens for 19 years, five of which were at Flushing — said the teen was disruptive. He walked in late, talked to others and wouldn’t take out his notebook. She repeatedly told him to move his seat away from pals, but he refused.
The teen then “went berserk,” Ghastin said. “He jumped out of his chair, rushed toward me and raised his arm,” encased in a hard cast from elbow to hand.
“I’m going to beat the s–t out of you,” Ghastin quoted him as yelling. “I’m a boxer, so I can really f–k you up.”
‘I’m going to beat the s–t out of you. I’m a boxer, so I can really f–k you up.’
- the student allegedly yelled at Ghastin
The slim, 45-year-old teacher was so scared, she couldn’t move.
“I was petrified,” she said. The other students were stunned.
That’s when she uttered the warning, “If you beat me, I’ll kill you.”
“That stopped him in his tracks,” Ghastin said. “He walked out of the room. That saved me.”
But the teen marched to the office to complain that Ghastin threatened him after telling him to “Move your ass.” Ghastin insists she told him to “move now — move fast.”
Other Flushing teachers have documented incidents of disrespect, aggressive behavior and foul language by kids.
“I DO NOT FEEL SAFE . . . in my classroom,” one wrote about a boy who repeatedly harassed teachers and fellow students.
The students who want to learn suffer, Ghastin said. “We have some great children, but a lot of them will transfer out,” she said.
Ghastin’s removal left her 270 students — 10 freshman English classes — in the lurch. She had already prepared their final exams, which covered the book “I Am Malala,” about the Pakistani schoolgirl shot by the Taliban. She left the exams for a substitute.
Chin did not return a call. The DOE said Ghastin will remain “reassigned” pending an investigation of the allegation against her.
Typical criminal students
Maybe instead of Mulgrew worrying about a $10 increase in Teachers Choice he should do something about the Zero Discipline DOE.
Thanks for directing me to the slate numbers Francesco. We have updated the posting.
