Parliamentary procedure peddler 🔨🧑‍⚖️ Forever that bitch with a point of order.
I've been an election judge before as well. We have real limits and regulations on who can enter polling places for good reasons. Surely a campaign manager can appreciate why you wouldn't want campaign managers ambling about polling places.

Then I sit there quietly, from open to close, and I don't talk to anyone. I politely decline to chat with people I know who are there to vote. When polls close, I ask to photograph the publicly posted results when they are ready. Then I say thank you and leave. THAT'S IT.

I've been a challenger a few times. When I arrive, I ask for the head election judge. I present my signed certificate. I ask them where they want me to sit and if they'd like me to wear anything identifying me as a challenger.

Ah, I'm glad you weren't the recipient of that, but still unacceptable nonetheless!

It is embarrassing and politically problematic that a DFL CD chair just admitted online to illegally skulking around every voting precinct in the ward.

What is polite about trying to illegally enter a voting site and then swearing at an election judge bc they enforced the law? It just comes off as arrogant, entitled, and desperate.

"Oh but the other guys" - not an excuse. Every 8 year old knows this.

Being jolly ≠ being polite.

This seems like a pattern.

She suffers from "everything I don't understand is a conspiracy against me specifically" syndrome.

Despite that, I still actually like her.

Good thing that doesn't matter after the election

It's so widespread, so you sound like an uncredible conspiracist when you say it out loud. That four AOM city council candidates had tenuous or non-existent residency in the wards they were running in.

I think it does a decent job at proportional representation.

CONCLUSION

There is a very, very high chance that your first choice on your park board at-large ballot will be the ONLY THING THAT COUNTS. It's really not that common for your second and third choices to matter. So think hard about your first choice! 9/9

Good. That's important.

Has he been the campaign manager all year?

Oh yeah. Constitutional I guess, but very difficult to wrap my brain around.

Check out floterial districts (New Hampshire iirc)

This would completely submerge the voting strength of North and likely violate the Civil Rights Acts.
