Vote splitting in the CBRM Mayoral Race

With 3 contenders for the CBRM mayor's seat, could vote splitting allow for a dark horse candidate to defeat them?

Note: Jean-Claude Van Damme was not harmed in the making of this video. Joe also needs more treadmill, less hamburger, and is highly inflexible (referring to his legs, not his negotiation skills, wha).

Joe Ward My Post Follow Me 2024-08-29 3:36 PM ADT Reply 1 0 I have to make a decision, asap. Despite the humour of the video, the consideration is real. Mike Johnson Follow Me 2024-08-30 7:38 AM ADT Reply 1 0 Or you could just help Rankin win, as you did with Amanda, and wait until there is a election where there is not a better candidate. That would be in 4 years, when there will be a whole new slate. You should run for D3 Councilor however.....it's wide open! Joe Ward My Post Follow Me 2024-08-30 9:09 AM ADT Reply 1 0 I'll make a final decision soon. Rankin waited too long and let Edwards enter the race. I suspect he only entered because he was asked by his inner circle. When I file, I'm committed 100%. I have no goal towards a pursuit of political roles as a career or bucket list. I run because our leaders don't meet my expectations. And I know much better is possible.

That leaves about 27k to be won over. Joe Ward My Post Follow Me 2024-08-29 4:16 PM ADT Reply 3 0 Those are margins a dark horse can work with! Ha ha :)

Barry Smith Follow Me 2024-09-05 6:00 PM ADT Reply 2 0 Well Joe I see you took the plunge!!! It 's getting a bit crowded, vote splitting will be in play. Joe Ward My Post Follow Me 2024-09-05 9:54 PM ADT Reply 0 0 I'm hearing that at least one more is set to announce.
