It's 9:30 and the voting line is still around the corner and down the street at Murch. Its in Ward 3, but all the signs are Ward 4 signs.

OP here. Every time I've checked the waits online, it's been < 5 min at every voting location. I think it's because turnout tends to be low for local elections, and possibly due to the number of absentee ballots requested this time.


So both Todd and Trump are going to get re-elected? Ward 4 is doomed.


Why are people assuming low turnout today is good for Todd?


Low turnout in DC always means incumbents win unless they are under indictment. Muriel had historically low turnout in Ward 4 and also got re-elected. Todd is warmed over Muriel.

Janeese should be mayor, but I'll settle for councilmember.


I am all for Janeese as mayor. It would be awesome for my property values just across the DC line. Would worsen overcrowding in MCPS as people flee over the line, but we would make it work.


Yes, we all know how people flee progress. Well, a certain kind of people anyway. Enjoy your racists and property values. I'd rather have decent people and lower property values.


How would leaving if Janeese became mayor be racist?

Yes, she is black. But so are her predecessors, and the other main candidates likely would be as well. It has to do with political beliefs, not race. Also, DC has only gotten whiter in recent years. Fleeing the city at that point hardly seems racist.

That’s a very interesting definition of progress.


Are you more accustomed to "progress" as shown in Birth of a Nation?

I'm more concerned that we have a Ward 4 councilmember more in line with MAGA than racial justice. Him and his Republican DFER allies.

George is a wasted vote.


What? Todd doesn't get anything done. He sent out a mailer listing his "accomplishments" that included one outright lie and one gross exaggeration.
