There is a natural tendency to assume that those votes you garner are FOR you. I fear the same has occurred here in Aurora.
Have a great day!
************************
Votes cast in one's favour are certainly entitled to be credited.
In a first election, the voter is giving the candidate a chance to show what he or she can do.
They watch with interest and take personal satisfaction when the newly elected Councillor shows signs of growth. They allow for a person to learn.
For a re-elected candidate ,it's a recognition of experience and performance or the best that's available.

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Yes, sometimes it's just a case of 'the lesser of two evils.'
I wasn't aware of how much of a bummer it could be to discover a vote had been misspent. AS Charlie Brown is supposed to have said, " Life is full of rude awakenings. " I had expected too much.
