November 19, 2012<\/p>\n

In his Fog City Journal<\/em> essay, \u201cThe D5 Progressive \u2018Coalition\u2019 Meltdown<\/a>,\u201d election reform expert and advocate Steven Hill analyzed the progressives\u2019 loss of San Francisco\u2019s District 5, when not enough second and third place votes on ballots marked for the three progressive candidates were transferred to the other three progressives. Hill told KPFA that the conservative candidates in District 7 also failed to defeat Norman Yee, despite some conservative \u201cstickiness\u201d that made for a very close race.<\/p>\n

Hill also said that San Francisco progressives would do well to build bridges with London Breed and that they should embrace the reality of race in San Francisco politics because communities of color are using ranked choice voting very effectively. Although District 5 is now only 10 percent Black (2010 Census figures), it includes the historically African American Fillmore District. London Breed campaigned hard within that community, where she was born and raised, and served as executive director of the African American Cultural Center.<\/p>\n

And with Chinese American Norman Yee winning his race in District 7 by only 131 votes after 10 days of counting and tallying votes, it\u2019s hard to imagine that he wasn\u2019t helped, perhaps even put over the top, by the Asian vote in his 34 percent Asian district.<\/p>\n

Transcript:<\/strong><\/p>\n

KPFA Evening News Anchor Cameron Jones:<\/strong><\/em> San Francisco\u2019s ranked choice voting system produced a surprising result in the Nov. 6 election, when District 5, the City\u2019s most progressive district, elected London Breed, the candidate perceived to be the most conservative in the race. Then District 7, the City\u2019s second most conservative district, elected Norman Yee, its most progressive candidate. Yee finally declared victory after 10 days of ranked choice vote counting put him 131 votes ahead in one of the closest races the City has ever seen. KPFA\u2019s Ann Garrison spoke to San Francisco-based ranked choice voting expert Steven Hill about how this happened.<\/p>\n

KPFA\/Ann Garrison<\/strong><\/em>: Steven Hill, first can you explain why progressives appear to have lost the most progressive district in San Francisco in ranked choice voting?<\/p>\n

Steven Hill:<\/strong><\/em> Well, I\u2019m not sure that they have. The person who was elected to the District 5 seat is a young African American woman by the name of London Breed. She\u2019s in favor of rent control, she was the director of the African American Cultural Center, has worked in the African American community for years. In a city where people have been telling the Black community you\u2019re losing your power, you\u2019re now second to the Asians, you\u2019re maybe third to the Latinos, London Breed was out in the projects. She had young African American men holding London Breed signs.<\/p>\n

And so, what happened was that the leading progressive candidates, who were considered progressives in some ways more by the White progressive community, their campaigns all melted down for one reason or another. And it left London Breed with a good shot at taking that seat.<\/p>\n

To me it calls into question, \u201cWhat is progressive?\u201d In San Francisco right now nine out of 11 members of the Board of Supervisors are a racial minority. All citywide offices in San Francisco are held by racial minorities. There are 18 seats elected by ranked choice voting in San Francisco and 16 of them are held by racial minorities.<\/p>\n

This is the highest percentage by far of any major city in this country. And yet I really am surprised that the progressive community isn\u2019t thinking about the importance of race in our elections. I really think that white progressives in San Francisco need to be thinking more about how to use the ranked ballots and ranked choice voting to get out into the communities of color and work in coalition with them to elect people whom they consider to be progressive from those communities. Because those communities are using these ranked ballots extremely effectively.<\/p>\n

You can look at the Asian vote. It\u2019s very \u201csticky\u201d: Asians vote for Asians. Latinos vote for Latino candidates. That\u2019s a fact.<\/p>\n

KPFA\/Ann Garrison<\/strong><\/em>: And what about District 7? Why do you think that Norman Yee, the most progressive candidate, won the second most conservative district?<\/p>\n

Steven Hill<\/strong><\/em>: Well, I think there it\u2019s pretty straightforward. Norman Yee was president of the School Board. He had won two previous School Board elections. He pulled the most first rankings and then the race got close because, in many ways, the other candidates behind him were more conservative.<\/p>\n

You saw that stickiness in the conservative vote in District 7, and so one of the more conservative candidates, F.X. Crowley, began catching up to him and even surpassed him at one point in the day by day vote totals. But in the end Norman pulled it out because he just had superior name recognition and he was just a great candidate.<\/p>\n

KPFA\/Ann Garrison<\/strong><\/em>: Do you think these were the most democratic results, especially given that there were so many ballots marked with neither of the top two finishers in District 5, ballots otherwise known as exhausted ballots?<\/p>\n

Steven Hill<\/strong><\/em>: Absolutely, because if you\u2019d had a second election, you would have had not exhausted ballots, you would have had exhausted voters. By getting the election over in November, during a presidential election when the voter turnout tends to be orders of magnitude higher, far more voters are having their say in who their district supervisor is.<\/p>\n

And the other thing in a second election, in this post-Citizens United era, suddenly the moneyed interests have another election to try and get their desired outcome. And actually we saw, in that District 5 race, just a week before the election, a huge independent expenditure mounted against Christina Olague by a Republican billionaire who\u2019s become allied with Ed Lee, a fellow by the name of Ron Conway. And they immediately injected a PAC with $100,000. And that\u2019s what progressives have to really think about \u2013 those who are feeling like \u201cOh, maybe ranked choice voting didn\u2019t work out so well for us,\u201d if progressive candidates have to keep in two elections instead of one, it gives an advantage to the moneyed interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
