1. When did having elections become a WAR activity ???

   i.e. ALL resources to the Election WAR Front.

   I.E. screwing up ballots is like screwing up military code messages in a time of WAR.

   Thus – how many election law MORON bureaucrats/printers messed up the ballots in this example ???

   What is the standard punishment ???

3. Peoria uses a Top 2 primary, with election only occurring if there is one candidate on the ballot (in 2012, there was a reversal in the Willow district, with the loser in a 2-person primary finishing first in the general election).

   One suggested fix is to simply hold the primary in November, presumably with the possibility of a runoff.

   I like the comment from one of the other candidates, Ben Toma:

   “Truthfully, Mr. Krieger has now had his 15 minutes of fame over and over and over again, and this thing just went from local exposure to national exposure,” he said. “It’s really unfair to both Bridget and I what’s happened, and it’s not like we had anything to do with it.”

   Krieger was originally challenged by a supporter of Toma, which may have led to his original omission from the ballot.

   Peoria names its council districts after plants. I wouldn’t be surprised if a third try at a ballot accidentally changed the district name to Banana.

4. In my opinion, “top-two primary” can only refer to partisan elections. An essential aspect of the term is that party labels appear on the ballot, but the parties don’t nominate anyone. So it is not appropriate to use that label for nonpartisan elections. Before Washington state adopted the top-two system, that term did not even exist, and yet the U.S. has been having nonpartisan elections for over 120 years.

5. Are you saying Minneapolis did not have Top 2 elections, because the term did not exist? Or did Minneapolis start having Top 2 elections, once Washington did, even though Minneapolis did not change.

6. In Minneapolis, candidates for city office may choose a partisan label, which can be the name of a ballot-qualified party. That label appears on the ballot next to the candidate’s name.
