I wonder, with the large number of districts going to referendum on the same ballot, how that will affect the vote for superintendent? Those that are motivated (either way) to go to the polls because of their local referendum...are they more pro-Underly or pro-Kinser?

Yes, she's actually likely to win, unless turnout trends with Spring Elections play out as they have.

In this era of emotional voting where all it takes is some rage inducing crap on enough podcasts to win, they only need to convince 50% + 1 *voters* (not *people*) that "Underly ... Bad ... Changed Tests ... Kids Dumb ... Bathrooms" and "Kinser ... Choice ... Good ... Fix".

Or, since we're on a roller coaster, maybe there'll have been just enough chaos by then that the turnout gets enough people who are willing to swallow some pride and vote just to "not eff it up any more right now".

March 14th government shutdown yea/may will be a forecasting inflection point.
