Two more League of Women Voter candidate forums from last week. This week’s episodes both feature some of the biggest herds of candidates in two open races. I think it’s pretty evident that we may have to wait for a runoff to see which candidates get a fuller opportunity to state their case.
District B:
At Large #2:
The unofficial canvass is out. I’m still wanting to get into some details of the AL2 runoff to see if the map looks any different for absentee votes compared to the early & E-day numbers. The takeaway from this map is that Burks got just enough of a slice of GOP areas. Even though he [...]

A little bit of reminder on how these calculations are done: I’m not perfectly defining the entire neighborhood with each definition below.
