    City Commission seat 2 is held by Curtis Richardson, not Porter.

    I'm assuming Donna Nyack and seat 2 means City Commission Seat 2, which is held by Jacqueline Porter. If so, this is definitely designed to split the votes opposing Porter.

    If Donna Nyack worries you that much, and I can see your issues, then have a Reporter sit at the Supervisors of Elections Office 8am to 5pm from June 10th to June 14th to catch up with her when she goes in to Qualify for the Election.
