I haven’t been posting Council threads since the election because to be honest it’s been so exhausting after the disastrous result of the election. But the last couple of weeks I’ve popped it on for a few minutes here and there, including right now.

Cr Wines is currently standing up in front of the Council and saying that he thinks polling booths were deliberately understaffed at the Council election as a tactic to make voters think “oh, the current incumbents are useless, I’m sick of waiting, we better vote them out.” His evidence for this claim? In his Ward, only in one booth did he not come first, and he said he saw long lines at that booth.
