Logical Voter Distribution

Letters

The bullet point distribution is logical. Ahearn-Koch and Chapman would have shared many ballots from united neighborhood voting thus the low bullet votes. I would expect Ahern-Koch to have more bullet votes in the run-off. She will share ballot mostly with Brody. Hyde was the only Republican (and possible Trump supporter) and thus had a singular following beyond the other candidates in bullet votes. I would expect Atkins voters to mainly support Ahearn-Koch while Gannon's votes will split between Ahearn-Koch and Brody. These are SWAGS, at best.
