Bill Nemitz has it flat-out backwards. Low turnout benefits conservatives, not progressives. In municipal elections, older homeowners always turnout to vote, and renters, people of color, and students tend not to. With presidential level turnout, Cheryl Leeman would have lost by 20-30 points, rather than a razor thin 46 votes. ![]()

The fact that even an election held in June resulted in sweep for the anti-city manager candidates shows just how broken Portland City Hall has become, and how widespread the agreement is that the status quo is broken.
