A further, and somewhat odd update for folks:
- The city emailed me, claiming it is *only* a 62% reduction in staff, and asked where I got my info from
- I told them I got it from the city clerk when she briefed city council, where she said it two times

I've cracked the code of why byelection lineups are so long in Vancouver today.
It's not just a turnout question.
Compared to the 2017 byelection, the city decreased the number of election workers by EIGHTY PERCENT.
From 1,250 in 2017 to 250 this time around.
This was a staff recommendation.
