The @cookcountyclerk.bsky.social office continues to work against the 82% of Evanston voters that voted to adopt ranked choice voting in a binding referendum in 2022. Democracy must be respected. The mandate is absolutely clear: Evanston voters demand more choices with ranked choice voting.

The guy from The Apprentice, who hired a Fox weekend host to run the Pentagon and a cast member from the Real World to run the FAA (the two agencies associated with the incident) says the real cause of a deadly plain crash is DEI.
