I was actually going to point to marvel as an example of not giving a fuck, but that's in the comics. They reboot shit all the time and no one (who isn't just looking to pick dumb fights) cares. If you just own it, people won't care.
Or you could give him the Dr Who treatment 🙃

Both city-wide races, too. The whole first pass of the Comprehensive Plan (put together by the mayor's office) being bare minimum... feeding the SPD black hole with money... spending money moving homeless people from place to place instead of using that for, idk...services and shelter??

The route to my fave ballot box crosses the raising bridges and once or twice I was cutting it so close that a boat going through would have made me too late.
Exciting, but can't say I recommend toying with that 😅

I used to be that 7:59 voter...and then KCE added stickers to the ballot packets. I'm not joking when I say I liked to drop off my ballot election evening because the elections folks were there with the "I voted" stickers. Must be the gold stars charts I grew up with 🤣

4/ Do keep in mind counting continues, and final results + certification documents are November 25th. So if either can get above 2000, we'll know who's mayor before Thanksgiving. If not, it'll be another week-ish after that, based on how long last year's recount took, before it's settled. 🤞

An especially good reminder because those states also often have deadlines from thirty to sixty days before election to (re)register. So if they remove you and you don't check until within that timeframe, you're out of luck. It's super nefarious.
