If you live in Ward 6, tomorrow (THURSDAY, September 17) is preliminary election day. Polls are open from 7 am to 8 pm. To find your polling place, enter your street address into this form. Street addresses of polling places are on this page.

You will find four candidates for Ward 6 Alderman on your ballot. The top two vote-getters in this preliminary election will face each other in the November 3 general election.

Learn more about the candidates by following the links in this earlier post, which I have updated. Recent posts in the local politics tag contain extensive discussion of this race.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of posting an image.

Looks like the calculus on my block was nobody with a yard sign was blessed with a Chisholm doortag, just the boo-scary surface analysis of Lance Davis contributors.

If you had no yard sign, you got both pieces dropped. Several neighbors (without yard signs) got both.

Someone who looked an awful lot like Chisholm's campaign manager (plus a cohort) were working both sides of Willow near the Brown School around 10:00 this morning. If so, isn't this a little embarassing? At least have the cojones to put your candidate's name on the screed next time.

A friend who reads DSLJ but doesn't have an LJ account sent me this, with permission for me to post it here:

I got the same treatment at 0917 on Cottage. My first thought was,
"Wow. An anonymous last-minute uncited anti-candidate screed. We've
had candidates put their names on anti-other-candidate statements, but
I think trying to get away with doing so anonymously is a first in at
least the 17 years I've been living here." And then I found the
Chisholm tag and thought, "It's unlikely these were two separate
visits---I'd have heard the door twice." Then I looked on the DSLJ,
and this thread confirms it. I wonder if his campaign will deny it?
If so, -that- would sure lead to some ugly press, and even if it's
after the election, it's something else to stick in the historical
file, along with the Chisholm research in the earlier thread.

I think there's a very real chance that Chisholm takes the #2 spot today and the general election is Davis vs. Chisholm, in which case this will be an issue for the next six and a half weeks. It won't be pretty.
