When Julie voted for Colin, she wasn't voting out Lynda, she was voting for
a shorter working week and a snappier paper that Colin had promised. Kenny,
on the other hand didn't want to be editor, and discouraged the voters by
promising longer hours, more pages, etc. Considering how most of the
Gazette staff seemed to work on week end and night as it was, it wasn't
something I'd vote for.
Lynda, herself, at the point in time had left for good, so the issue was
really whether Julie voted for Kenny or Colin. When Lynda did return, she
was instantly made editor again.
