[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don't get why the downcounty Democrats are so afraid of giving the upcounty people a couple more seats. They'll still have a solid majority on the council, and the upcounty districts will generally vote Democrat anyway.

Leggett's example is absurd. Is there a more rational explanation that I'm not seeing besides being afraid of proportional representation for upcounty interests?[/quote]

It won't get Republicans elected, if that's what people are hoping for (or fear).  It will likely get some more moderate Democrats elected.   [/quote]

Agreed. That seems the most likely outcome.  Are the downcounty Democrats really that afraid of moderate Democrats?  I don't understand why so many of them view this as an existential threat.[/quote]

Navarro is done - term limited.  So her district is open.   I think Hucker wants to run for higher office.  So his might be available as well, next go round.

I don't know where Will Jawando, Evan Glass, and Gabe Albornoz live.   They are the ones with the most to lose.    So that leaves those three to fight out district changes that may pit them against one another, depending on where they live.

I will be sad if Albornoz is squeezed out somehow.   Neutral on the other two.   [/quote]
