"I think that it is impossible to know at this point," Reeves said as the votes were still being counted at the Cambridge Senior Center. "We've had a very different type of election this year."
Running for a sixth term, Reeves said he was not taking anything for granted. He cited the shift in Cambridge population and the increasing student base as significant factors in the election.
"We've worked as hard as we could at this point, and we just want to have fun together," he said.
MIT senior and council candidate Erik Snowberg, who hosted a small gathering of mostly MIT friends in his living room, said he was glad he had the experience of running a campaign but was also glad that it is over.
Though he monitored the election all day, Snowberg said he realized that he hadn't gotten a spot, and it was too late to make a difference.
"We just figured that the campaign is over," he said. "We're done. I went into this thinking that it would be an experiment, and we'll see what happens."
Still, Snowberg said he was pleased with the student turnout.
