Sour grapes, anyone?

Local elections should be able to run an Independent. Quite frankly, no clue why they’re run on primaries anyway in DC, when we vote Dem 93+

You chose to register as an independent. Nobody forced you to do that.

DP. I deregistered myself. It is crazy to me that there’s an automatic assumption that we must belong to a party.

So why are people complaining? It isn't the dems fault that the republicans are useless and incompetent in DC.

I’d like to know the demographics (full) of who voted and how in Ward 1 since it’s an outlier in DC (look at WaPo maps). I’ll take a wild guess that white people voted for White and Nadeau disproportionately

30,396 mail votes still left to count in the DC primary election, 27,219 of which were left in drop boxes on Tuesday. While it’s possible that these votes in key races like Ward 3 may break in a similar ratio with ballots tabulated so far, they may break differently and affect certain election results.

I'm an independent too. I'd like to see our city move to the system that Alaska now uses.

You should start a ballot initiative and hope than Mendo doesn't override it.

I'd say this is very much up in the air!
From Martin Austermule's twitter feed (my screenshot isn't working)

Update: Of the 27,219 mail ballots left in drop boxes on Tuesday that are now being counted, 4,264 were left in boxes in Ward 3. Now, that doesn’t mean they are *all* from Ward 3 voters, but it stands to reason many will be.

is ahead in Ward 3 race by 900 votes.

theoretically yes. in practice, highly unlikely. the uncounted ballots are day-of-election dropoff. these are post duncan/bergmann dropouts. i'm guessing heavily favor Frumin

Chance? Sure, anything is possible.

But understand, Goulet was in the lead by 2 points at the count for the early dropbox voting, but everything after was for Frumin, and his lead was extended with each drop. So Goulet would need to out perform Frumin by about 25 points given the number of Ward 3 ballots outstanding.

Goulet had not achieved anything close to that.

Any chance with so many votes still to count that Goulet overtakes Frumin?

Ben Bergmann almost beat Finley even though he withdrew.

Bergman's day-of tallies were pretty incredible for someone who "withdrew" - despite there being a big sign saying that he withdrew at polling places, he still won a lot of votes.

That goes for Tricia Duncan too.

As of last night, Duncan was ahead of Finley. Finley was hurt by his longstanding ties to Trumper pollster Bob Ward.

Finley never put up signs. And he was always low energy.
On twitter, he never posted anything insightful or showed he was campaigning anywhere.
He didn't even bother to explain his accomplishments on the ANC during any of the debates.

Bob Ward is sleazy. He posted obsessively on the Cleveland Park listserve in support of Finley but wasn’t open on his ties to the campaign

what were his ties to the campaign? Show your work.

it is hilarious how there are a couple people who think this bob guys is some omni-potent political guru, but he couldn't even get his preferred candidate more votes than people who dropped out of the election. Quit blaming him for all the ills in your life. Also, I noticed the DC BOE split cleveland park into two. Why are you not really really angry about that? Doesn't that violate your neighborhood's integrity or something?
