How the Nov 3 Vote will Work

Here's a note I sent to a friend who asked about the process going fwd:

Because Town Meeting isn’t recognized by Hamilton County Board of Elections (BOE), the November race is At Large (I think this is the name). Said another way, BOE doesn’t care that we have Districts, that we have a Caucus, that I was chosen. Top vote getters (whether involved in Town Meeting or not) get seats. For instance, John Altman is running outside of Town Meeting, directly with BOE. He’ll be on the ballot, and if he’s the #1, #2, #3 or #4 vote getter, he gets a seat. Hamilton County views both of our candidacies equally.

So the campaign really starts today, I just happened to pick up a strong endorsement, so to speak….
