[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Reason No. 4988880 why we need jungle primaries, at the very least. Public officials should not repeatedly win when more people vote against them than for them. Brianne is 2 for 2 in that department.[/quote]

Like the other poster, you seem to have forgotten about her first term in which she beat Jim Graham with 59% of the vote in the primary. This is her second re-election campaign, but her third Council campaign.

So she's 1 for 3 in not getting outvoted. That's a good thing? I'd argue the opposite.[/quote]

I’m arguing for accuracy. Bowser is currently below 50% as well. Does that bother you?[/quote]

Yes, just as Nadeau getting consistently outvoted should bother you.[/quote]

She is not getting out-voted. No opponent received more votes. I favor a runoff format, but this is the system we have now. [/quote]

More people voted against her than for her. Again. [/quote]

“Against Nadeau” was not on the ballot. Other candidates were and none of them received as many votes as she did. [/quote]
