[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It doesn't make it any more rational to know that multiple people (including big downcounty developers) are saying that the council reps WHO ARE ELECTED COUNTY-WIDE don't represent much of the county.

Capital letters for emphasis, not shouting.[/quote]

Well, for one, they don't represent (not even at all) anyone who isn't a registered Democrat in MoCo (currently 40% of the population) because we didn't get to vote for them in the Primary.[/quote]

There is no reason to be registered as republican in maryland. If you want your vote to count, be a democrat and start voting for some moderate democrats. [/quote]

1/3 of registered voters in MoCo have no party affiliation (independents).[/quote]

And THAT's why we have super-liberals as our councilmembers and executive.  The hard core liberals are the majority of those who can vote in the primaries.

Imagine if those independents and even moderate republicans had been registered as democrats.  We would probably have Blair now as a County Exec.  And probably Marilyn Balcomb as a councilmember.[/quote]

Independents and moderate Republicans could have voted for Nancy Floreen for County Exec. But they didn't. She couldn't crack 20%.

She went in too late. She only ran because she knew Elrich would be a disaster.  [/quote]
