Apples & oranges. FPP elections have primaries: Wilson wouldn't have made it through in May.
In 11th hr, Rubio's traffic citation scandal ➕ active grassroots #DontRankRene campaign opened the lane for Wilson.
But again, please keep condescendingly explaining Portland Mayoral elections to me.
The #DontRankRene campaign shaped the Portland 2024 mayoral campaign FWIW.
In Portland, the #DontRankRene campaign worked really well. Good luck!
#DontRankRene was genius.
Seriously, @CommissionerRG/ Rene Gonzalez? 🤣🤣🤣

Portland Mayor prelim RCV round 18 shows Keith Wilson, Rene Gonzalez and Carmen Rubio the last ones standing. This is not a final result.
And here is Portland Mayor vote tally at Round 18.
What is interesting about the data set is that Gonzalez received 33,344 votes in the first ranking, but only manages to add another 9,000 votes throughout the rest of the rounds.
It would appear that #dontrankrene deserves a pat on the head.
Rene Gonzalez is this nasty.

I voted! I walked down to the ballot drop box yesterday with my dog, Sherman, and turned in my ballot. I’m sad that we don’t get “I voted” stickers here in Oregon, so I might make one myself.
Also, for all the rest of my PDX pals:
#DontRankRene He’s a dangerous liar who supports violent MAGAs.
Hell yeah! I’m still salty about his bullshit against JoAnn Hardesty, but there’s a million other good reasons to hate him. Fuck that guy! #DontRankRene
I’ve lived in Portland proper for 2 years now and this my first chance to vote here, and I’m using my chance to do my best to contribute to Rene Gonzalez being absolutely humiliated. #DontRankRene
I don't think that Rene could win if these people are also ranked... I think he's out with #dontrankrene.
This is a random example from BlueSky, but I just saw a friend on instagram do the same thing— #dontrankrene , over a ballot with only three bubbles filled.

Gonzalez flaunts finance laws again. This is not an ethical guy.

Remember, you don't have to rank six people! You can rank only one, if only one person is worthy of your vote!
But no matter if you rank one or six, DON'T FUCKIN' RANK RENE.
I worked for the City for 20 years and Liv is the kind of mayor we need. She's my no.1 ranking, and let me slip a #dontrankrene plug, too
It might take a decade for the new council to get its shit together, but we'll still be better off than wit the old form
I asked my mom how she was voting in the mayor's race and she said "well I'm not ranking what's his name... the asshole" #DontRankRene
Hey, #Portland – #DontRankRene

Here's a timeline of all the reasons you shouldn't rank Rene Gonzalez for Portland mayor. For me, his involvement in ED300, a group that tried to re-open schools during the height of the pandemic, was always the first disqualifier.

Ranked choice is the way, y’all. The thought that we might actually be able to stop somebody as crap as Rene Gonzalez from taking the win even though the wealthy class desires him… music to my little tired lefty heart.
#DontRankRene #pdx
“In a first-past-the-post environment, Gonzalez would be a strong favorite to win,” Horvick continued. “But in a ranked-choice world he is significantly weakened.”

Our neighbors annoy the shit out of us sometimes, but this is gold.
#dontrankRene
Portland, once again, I will say: do not vote for Rene Gonzalez and his disguised Republican BS.
We have ranked choice voting this time so DO NOT rank him at all. #dontrankrene
You know it’s rough in Portland when even the Oregonian is like “I guess we have to have a mayor?” I hope it goes without saying but #dontrankrene
A giant inflatable Halloween ghost and tail of inflatable snake in a front yard. A yard sign reads “RENE GONZALES IS THE NASTIEST SKANK BITCH I HAVE EVER MET”
