2023 Presidential election?
(in reply to barker)
Why do I think this is a typo?
Clarification re November ballot
Clarification - in city elections, only the Mayor and Municipal Judge are declared winners in the primary if they get 50% +1 votes. Debbie Helsley will be facing R. Bentley Marlow in November's election.
Thanks so much.
