I have Catan, but was too tired today. Obvious location is second floor near the escalator. Maybe tomorrow?

The answers will vary by state.
California:
dmv.ca.gov/wasapp/ipp2/initP…
has some info.

So it's fire season again in northern California.
Also, the name of this one feels like it might be commentary on the Web browser market...
#ChromeFire [update] off Hwy 162 and Forest Hwy 7, north of Elk Creek (Glenn County) is now 2,200 acres and 30% contained. Evacuation Advisory in place. fire.ca.gov/current_incident…

But once you actually log in, the website will primarily give you messages that say:
An unexpected error has occurred
or similar things. (I can't get it to give me the other error now.)
So I'm not sure it's worth setting up an account in the first place...

Why did you publicly oppose SB 827, which would have helped reduce the increase in housing prices?

RCV and runoff systems are both better than plurality, but there are other better alternatives. (I'd probably go for approval voting.)

NEW: 12 Northern California wildfires in October 2017 were caused by PG&E electric power and distribution lines, conductors, and the failure of PG&E power poles, according to CalFire report.

My New Yorker piece about how Donald Trump REALLY reminds me of Kaiser Wilhelm - even down to his little white hands. And it has 'Doofus' in the title. goo.gl/sjYfB2 so proud

Yes, or from all of their choices being eliminated, or from marking more than one candidate on one of the later choices.
Also, SF only allows three choices.

I'm running Android 8.1.0 (June update), with @projectfi. Maybe if I actually understood how notifications worked I'd have a better idea who is at fault...

One clarification on the data: these are the election-day voting and vote-by-mail totals as of Preliminary Report 5, so there are some additional vote-by-mail ballots relative to the early report on election night.

Two weird things here: First, you can add two sets of ballots that both have Breed winning, and produce a result where she doesn't win. Second (& more serious), the RCV in the election day ballots eliminates Leno early when he could have beaten Breed had he stayed another round.

What hasn't been seen much is the difference between those: the election day ballots. If you count *only* the election day ballots, Breed also wins, with Kim second. The fact that Kim eliminated Leno allows Breed to win by beating Kim; she can't beat Leno in these ballots.

Many also saw the later updates, late last night and today, with Leno winning. As of this afternoon (Preliminary Report 5), Mark Leno is barely ahead, thanks to RCV. (The election is still wide open, since there are a ton of vote-by-mail ballots still to be counted.)

So, a real-world story about how Ranked Choice voting by successive elimination (as implemented in San Francisco) is weird.
Many following SF politics saw the initial results for Mayor last night, when only the early vote-by-mail ballots had been counted. Breed was winning.
