    By far the two largest races for my local election were nyc mayor and prop 50: all the press, all the publicity, all the talk …. And my ballot held city councillors and school board candidates who were mostly unopposed.

    It’s actually unexpected: my town has had some contentious issues lately on school funding, higher density housing , bike lanes, pedestrianizing a section of our “main” street, and a war between a strong mayor and ineffective city council …. I expected to attract more candidates, more voters
