The evidence that is least relevant to the speaker’s argument is:

And finally, our neighboring town of Westmont also named its library by a vote.

This statement does not directly support the argument regarding the effectiveness or benefits of voting versus contests in the naming process; it simply provides an example of another town's decision. The other pieces of evidence present specific comparisons or direct feedback about the voting process itself, making them more relevant to the argument.
