It continues to baffle me, Cat, why anyone would continue to willfully engage in such behavior as the two-time election reject has.

The examples you cite are valid, and they're much like his recent attempt to say that he was correct to both call the city council "tax and spend political insiders" in a political ad and then state within the past week that they are "the best council this century."

And on his delusional claim about compulsory voting, he's effectively admitting that he failed to motivate enough people to vote for him on his own merits, and instead wants a law to be passed compelling people to vote. [As you rightly note, too, he's basically admitting that his "supporters" don't vote.]

What he misses, of course, is that local voting tends to follow statistical trends -- in other words, if one candidate receives a certain percentage of the vote in a small sample size, that margin will generally stay consistent as the sample size goes up.

If we look at the 10,397 votes cast in the Democratic primary in September, it represents just over half of the 20,294 registered Democratic voters as reported by the Rhode Island Secretary of State in September: https://vote.sos.ri.gov/ovr/media/registeredvoters

Every statistician would agree that 51.23 percent is a valid sample size to predict with virtually 100 percent certainty that the voting trend would hold consistent if it were expanded to the entire Democratic voter group -- meaning Mayor Solomon would still wind up with nearly two-thirds of the vote.

So, the two-time election reject is engaging in idle, uninformed, and delusional speculation when he suggests that, despite his spending of $1,770 on the 2018 primary campaign and the many clear and obvious defects that he willingly exhibited as a candidate, he would have somehow reversed Mayor Solomon's overwhelming victory if more people had voted.

We can be certain that, as long as there is an opportunity for the two-time election reject to disgrace himself even further, he will enthusiastically take it.
