Obviously the PNM machinery working to give her a shot at a seat in one of the UNC strongholds. They might swing some voters, because that road is a pain point for many and neither the CTTRC nor the MP coulda do anything about it.

Sharda Satram wasn't the UNC candidate for a seat in 2019, then PNM candidate in GE in 2020?

[Dizzy28]

i donno. If she is a career politician, she is just moving from one employer to another. Neither UNC nor PNM have any deep ideological or philosophical differences to "betray"

Yup, she clearly on a journey seeking power no matter who flag she flying

[Dizzy28]

She's a "contractor". The one profession where being in the right political circles makes you a Millinieum Lakes resident very quickly.

Disrespectful... pnm sticking posters on a memorial site made by a citizen for the fallen paria divers

[DMan7]

UNC did that to make PNM look bad. Last ditch effort to move the needle in their direction for the elections. Too little too late.

[mero]

Feel UNC gonna pull this off. UNC build a nice steam with gun and crime talk. Ppl barely care about the local side of things

[Les Bain]

Just a slight hiccup at the polling station but I got through quickly.

Used a paste made of Dawn and baking soda to get most of the electoral ink off and it's back to the daily routine.

[death365]

was # 8 got thru in5 to 7 mins

Done.. grand total of 1 minute.

At 730, I was the 13th person to vote at my station.

[Chimera]

Swing voter checking in. Rowley last time Gary this time

[maj. tom]

Gonna hit the polling station later today coming back home.

Please go out and vote. The number 1 problem with Democracy is that people don't go and vote. They let that simple civic responsibility be other people's choice and have numerous excuses on why they don't. Especially younger people. And this is how we end up here with the majority of the vote cast being older citizens who done check out of society and only care about the old time days feels of comfort racism rhetoric and receiving pension.


"I don't care about politics." The people in power are betting on this. It allows them to be comfortable with doing nothing because everybody happy with not voting and changing it.


"My vote doesn't matter among the thousands of others." And 60% say that and end up with what we have now.


"Local elections don't mean anything." Yes well this is why we are here. If more people voted to show that local elections are important and local candidates have weight in government which contributes to the quality of life we have now, it would actually mean something.


"Both parties are the same" Well not really and you know it. Just look at the roads, crime and the depression of the population and the real-life situation in the last 7 years. If you're older than 25 you can remember a different government.

very insightful

[FrankChag]

I don't vote for religious reasons, but my now-cynical mind can't help thinking:

PNM probably: Dig up the road, and only pave it if we win that seat.
Voter probably: I better vote PNM so the Council'll have the $$ to finish pave the road. Steups, Mah tyres!!

[redmanjp]

voted an hour ago. come on ppl we complain all the time about the state of our country - well today is your chance to voice your discontent.

[Chimera]

I don't vote for religious reasons, but my now-cynical mind can't help thinking:

serious?

Islam bars you from voting?

where you get that one from

[DMan7]

Damn these UNC people desperate, my father got a call from the lady whose up for the LGE in the area and she asked if he voted and if not if he wanted to get transport to and from the polling station. lmao.

[SR]

Both parties do that
