it should not have been done during school. Had they done it after school then it is more like a typical GOTV activity like souls to the polls for Sunday voting. Of course had they waited until after school they likely would not have had as many students interested in doing it.

What is intersting is that effort was focused on the Bring Chicago home initative. That initiative was defeated and the last numbers I could see were 173,217 to 152,248. Comparing Burke Oneill's numbers it looks like a substnatial number of people voted against the initiative but for Clayton Harris. Obviously will need to see final resuls but would not have expected to see that correlation.

One is on all ballots the other only on dem ballot *

ballot initiative would have tied in the Republican primary which seems unlikely. As I said will need to see final numbers to be able to make any accurate assessments.

Actually they didn’t vote in the S.A. race

They just voted against BCH. Which is pretty wild.
