The Democrats crushed it in Maryland. Everywhere on the ballot.

Trone?
AA Co Exec?
Frederick Co Exec?

Those are the ones I’m watching.

Republican victories in all 3 races. I think Maryland democrats need to pay close attention to what Calvin Ball is doing in Howard County. Less ideological, more competent, more likable.

Trone should pull it out.

He won’t. The NYT only thinks that there are outstanding votes left in MoCo. However, there are very few uncounted MoCo votes left and it won’t be enough to erase the deficit.

Doubtful. She will probably go out kicking and screaming.

All of the ANC's will still be pro-bike lane.
Frumin out-polled Cheh and is pro-bike lane.

IOW, bike lanes are happening.

The ANC races are 50/50 on bike lanes. Siddiqui won by 6 votes. Tandaric lost. The neighbors are sharply divided, now they are actually paying attention. Time for a reset.

It appears the pro bike folks like both candidates in that race:

And Siddiqui was the biggest pro-bike person on ANC 3C and he had an opponent that spent a lot of money and had a lot of support from the Macwood contingent and CPCA/CPHS crowd and still won.

So yeah I think the pro bike crowd is pretty happy with this outcome.

How can they be happy? The competitive races show the community its sharply divided. We can now dispense with the “wide community support” narrative. The bike crowd should be embarrassed for the scam they’ve run the past two years.

That’s a lot.

Voters who wanted Silverman or McDuffie were told constantly to cast just one vote because Bonds was guaranteed a seat, so the number doesn't seem that surprising.

3C, 3F and 3G are all still majority pro-bike lane.

Because in those ANCs, just like everywhere else in the city, the vast majority are uncontested. Where contested, it does not seem that voters have vigorously endorsed.

Disagree. You are focused on one race in ANC3C which is majority single family homes that is being won by a 30 year NIMBY advocate. Virtually all of the other races are pro-bike lane candidates, and the uncontested are pro-bike lane candidates. In total, there is no political will to try to undo what had already been decided.

Quite the opposite. The elections DI matter. They show the community is split on the issue. We’re all neighbors and if we make policy on the basis of 51%-49% votes, this will not be a pleasant place to live. Now is the time to heal, come together, and find consensus on how to make Connecticut Ave safer: more enforcement, dedicated bus lanes, increased bike amenities around metro, etc. There are many places for agreement.

No, I was not asking that. I asked if she was going to be gracious enough to concede.

Okay. Name all of the anti-bike lane on CT candidates that won. If you can't then bike lanes on CT move forward.

I am curious what you think an ANC’s job is exactly?

The decision had already been made by the mayor. Everything that has happened since, the petition, the lies on the neighborhood email lists, etc, are what is divisive. If you want to come together and heal, then the way to do it is to understand the bike lanes are happening and help make the design as good as possible. Neither the ANC, the Councilmember-Elect nor the Mayor are reversing the decision.
