voter math

[lauradi7dw]

For reasons that I never learned, despite living here for 37 years, our local town elections are the first Monday of March instead of saving money by bundling them into the November larger area elections. There are three people running for two open slots on the planning board. One of them is very qualified but a number of people in town seem opposed because he is quite young. There has been a good bit of ageism and stay in your lane kind of opposition. I am going to vote for him, gladly. So that leaves a decision of which of the other two to choose. Different friends recommend different ones. If I only vote for the person I really want, does that increase his chances a tiny bit? We're not doing ranked choice, just the top two vote-getters win.
