[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a split. Mayor, AG, at-large and Chair that just won are all moderates.  The new Ward councilmembrs are more progressive.

Basically, rich white people in Wards 1 and 3 (Nadeu andn Frumin) and 6 (Allen unopposed) don't really understand that crime is bad for black people primarily and instead get feel-good votes that they imagine make them Good White People. [/quote]

Ward 1 is not only rich white people (nor is Ward 6). And policing and crime didn't seem like a major focus of the Ward 3 race for any of the candidates. (If anything, people in Ward 3 lately seem shocked — SHOCKED! — to find that crime sometimes happens here, too, and so you'd think someone could have run hard at that and done well with it, but apparently not.) Also, the D.C. attorney general isn't the chief prosecutor of crimes in the city, anyway, so crime is only tangentially related to that election.[/quote]

Rich white people in Ward 1 voted Salah, not Nadeau. [/quote]
