Please vote in the general election this fall! 54 people in the state determined the outcome of the primary!
This is the person who controls all five million acres of public lands and forest fire management.
I have a strong distrust for anybody who is still willing to put an ® by their name, I feel like anyone who is a decent person would switch.
(Not saying the Dems are great, but not actively villainous like the GOP)Is there any reason this particular race may be different in that regard?
(And the Democrat candidate even has nominative determinism going for him, can’t ignore that bonus)
Yeah, as the other person said, lots of vote splitting because there were several good democrats and people assume the good ones will always win the primaries, so they don’t vote. This has hosed us in the past. We could really use ranked choice voting and better classes that teach students why voting is so important.
Also, the nominative determinism is strong- Upthegrove has a deep knowledge of the field (heh), and has strong endorsements from great orgs like the Sierra Club. We’d be lucky to have him!
I don’t know if I remember right but I think there were a whole pack of dems on that ballot all splitting the vote
Yeah, I think you are right. I forgot about that.
