I’m surprised Frey is first and that Hodges isn’t placed higher.

The site posts 2nd and 3rd choice rankings too.

1. I think Hodges' handling of some of the issues with the police department

was not very effective, and that did some real damage. I kind of expected Frey to do well, though he wasn't my first choice. None of them actually suck, though; so we should be OK.

3. Frey leads in 2nd choice too

Correction, he doesn’t lead in 3rd choice. Hodges and Levy-Pounds did better in 2nd and 3rd than in first.

Looks like Frey will be Mayor, not that I understand how they figure it.

2. Her handling of the

Lady that was killed by the Police Officer did her in.

4. What party are these people?

[BainsBane]

5. All Democratic Farmer-Labor

No Republican is getting elected in this city.

6. Thanks.

7. No Republicans even ran!

[progree]

8. Well I see a Libertarian Party and a Rainbows Butterflies Unicorns Party stalwart

From the first choice:

Libertarian Party - Charlie Gers - 1232 - 1.18%
Rainbows Butterflies Unicorns - David John Wilson - 216 - 0.21%

[BainsBane]

10. Dont forget Captain Jack Sparrow

Basic Income Guarantee Party. Still, Rainbows Butterfies Unicorns is the best party name.

9. I'm not looking forward to a Frey mayorship

I think he is kinda slimy.

[Randomthought]

15. me too

Andwhat does " and end to ideological purity" mean? This guy is sounding like Republican lite to me.

[BainsBane]

11. Frey wins.

I hope he'll be okay.

[geardaddy]

12. Gross.

I don't think he'll be ok. He is development hungry and only gives lip service to affordable housing.

[geardaddy]

13. Let the gentrification of Minneapolis continue.

[question everything]

14. Media sources declare Frey the winner, even though he won only 25%

And Hodges leads in third choice.

So how these numbers mean anything?
