Now, all voters will have a chance to make their final choice in competitive general elections. Without a competitive race at the top of the ticket, we will see if turnout remains higher than most past BOA races.

Voter turnout was higher than previous elections without a competitive top-of-the-ticket race. PBOA was unopposed. YET voter turnout was 3.08 points higher than in 2015, when it was a 2-way race w/ the PBOA. (Turnout was higher in 2019 w/2 serious challengers.) 4/

Geez reading this indictment is like a movie right now. I am so shocked at what I’m reading, that every few pages I need to take a break. I’m expecting some resignation letters coming down soon. The great people of St. Louis city don’t deserve this.
