I suppose that's the beauty of democracy.  [b]As someone that lives upcounty, I am voting Yes on D, so that I can have the same representation as someone that lives in the lower county.[/b]

And speaking of how dumb you are, you entirely missed the point of my post.  I was highlighting that even though we can't vote out Elrich, we still have the opportunity to effect change in our local election.  Questions A-D show that.

You suggest to the previous poster that they must be from Russia because they suggested that the local election will still yield the same results.  Your response was that they were a troll cause Elrich isn't on the ballot.  You're wrong.  Even though Elrich isnt on the ballot, relevant issues about how he is allowed to operate are.  And if A or B is passed, he will have to change how he operates.

You already have it.[/quote]

The at-large members are all from lower county, really Silver Spring.  Which makes sense; the system is designed that way.  But that means people in lower county have more representation from people up county.  And that's not right.  The way its designed right now, those "at-large" members have no reason to pay attention to any up county constituents.  I get it; I probably wouldn't either if I didnt need their vote to keep my position.  But that doesnt make it right.

9 districts.  9 members.  [/quote]

No, it makes no sense, unless you assume that elected officials can only represent the neighborhoods that they personally live in, and why on earth would you do that?

Some of the at-large members who live downcounty have represented the upcounty far better than the upcounty district council member who actually lives here.[/quote]

I think we probably just need to disagree on that last point.

To be frank, the real solution is to create two new counties entirely.  the needs, lifestyle, and desires are so different.  Draw a line somewhere around the ICC and let up county self govern.[/quote]

An even more unfeasible idea.

Here's a more feasible idea (maybe): for the Republicans of Montgomery County to consider putting up candidates who might actually get Montgomery County voters to vote for them. That's the real issue. You can't get your candidates elected, because the only people who run have ideas that most Montgomery County voters don't support. Try fixing that problem.[/quote]

The Republicans would have to be extraordinarily differentiated because people typically vote straight tickets. It’s just improbable. [/quote]
