my sister is winning

Last edited Wed Nov 7, 2018, 12:36 AM - Edit history (2)

still a little early. killed it in the early voting. ahead so far. this is a top 2 race. looks like the only real question is if she bests the longest serving member.

2 on the ballot at a time, staggered terms.
so top 2 vote getters in each party go forward, and top 2 win the 2 seats.
