None of this will matter without voting reform:

- Get rid of ranked choice voting

- Require voter ID

- In person voting tallied on election day, no votes received after election day counted

As it stands now, public employee unions can hijack the decision making for the city. A large portion of them do not live in Oakland, and they use their power to loot legal residents of the city. They are a big part of the election fraud that has turned Oakland into a one party regime. Return the power to the people by ensuring one vote per legal resident.

Yes. Of course do this. If so many other more successful towns/cities have this structure, then why on early did it take 5 months to listen? And now another many months to structure this? And more months to probably not do this?

Just change it. Just bring it to the voters NOW.

Stop grandstanding and get actual work done and change made.

Please.

We the citizens are (sometimes literally) dying out here while work groups chat on…

So strengthen the mayor *and* strengthen the city council? Can't make up your mind? And adopt MAGA voting restrictions to disempower the citizens?
