Nov 2022

The worker there said she couldn't address what was actually on the ballot, and I went ahead and voted.

When I checked online, it said my rep was the one I knew. So I called the elections office, who told me that my area was redistricted, but that it wouldn't take effect until January. So the website was correct until then.

It was alarming. I don't know how I missed the redistricting announcement. (And no one seems to be campaigning for that job in my area. Dunno why.) But now I have a strong chance to end up with a Democratic progressive rep, so I'm thrilled.
