It’s common for Blair supporters to argue Riemer voters are also anti-Elrich voters but there is no way to know— they could also be anti-rich businessman[/quote]
What I’m trying to understand is how Riemer voters can claim that RCV is important when they also say Elrich was their second choice. Sounds like they are talking out of both sides of their mouths out of convenience to absolve blame for re-electing Elrich.

Seems like a disingenuous candidate has many disingenuous supporters. It’s an affinity group. [/quote]

You sound nuts. You do realize that there are thousands upon thousands of Riemer voters. There is no set of beliefs you must subscribe to or spokesperson who could articulate those beliefs. It is almost certain that some Riemer voters would have Elrich as their second choice and some have Blair. Likewise it almost certain that some would support RCV and some wouldn’t. But that’s about all you can say about them as a group. [/quote]

Many Riemer supporters despise Elrich because of his opposition to upzoning/Thrive 2050.  Blair is more like a blank slate on those issues - his statements seemed inconsistent.  There is no way that the "Not Marc Elrich" crowd would have had Elrich as their second choice, and they seemed to be supporting Reimer.  Am I overestimating how many of them there are?[/quote]
