I suspect the only reason they don't sync the elections is that there are probably special interests who believe or possibly have found that it's easier to get a bond measure through or a proposition passed if the elections occur in off-years or during primaries or special elections.
Yup. I really don’t care about the turnout in my Communist city. The lower the turnout the better. Gives my vote more weight with the lower turnout.
I’m just saying if the local yo-yos who run our city government want to see a higher turnout in municipal election they should have them in the even years to correspond with the presidential and midterm elections as opposed to all of these perfectly ridiculous ideas to bribe the voters to come to the polls.
