This election will be decided by the rich! If you are wealthy enough to owned multiple parcels of land, you get many votes! And not only do you get many votes, but if your land is developed your vote is worth more! This flies in the face of anything considered democratic.

Gaines is making noise again. I was starting to worry about him as he had been laying awfully low for several months.
All Ted needs to do now is endorse John Doolittle and he can get on with his next 5 years in the Assembly. (or 9 if 93 passes)
