Patricia Collins Has Voted

Well, nearly voted. She’s filled out her ballot, for sure.

It took a while. And it took a spreadsheet. This was the first election we got to experience ranked choice voting.

I had to rank six candidates for mayor (a bit difficult, due to quality of candidates) and another six for the three District 2 representatives. 22 were running, but happily some of those 22 hadn’t submitted a statement to the voter’s pamphlet, which is my lowest bar to clear.

I’m excited to see how the ranked choice voting goes. I’m noticing that by ranking six candidates, my feelings of needing ONE person to win have dissipated. I look at that as progress.
