[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the board decided not to use ranked choice voting for fall for reasons. I’m guessing they are worried that one of the non-Dem challengers could sneak through, but which one? Still seems pretty safe to me.

I have talked to neighbors in Arlington. These are educated professionals and they express genuine fear that a republican could materialize and get on the board. Like they actually say this with fear. It’s so bizarre to encounter. No amount of logic or common sense can convince them they are over reacting.[/quote]

Whilst I mostly agree with this statement, not in Arlington. I always vote for Dems in national elections, but I have even voted for Clement in Arlington County local elections. Boss Tweed has nothing on the Arlington County Dems. Very disappointed in this decision - even though I ranked neither of the winners in the recent CB election.  [/quote]
