142 American cities. 17 years of city government voting data. One city council was a total outlier from the dataset, where dissent averaged 3x the next highest city every single year tracked.

That city? Ann Arbor, Michigan.

This is an eye opening must-read for #a2council watchers, and I'd argue, anyone who thinks about politics locally.

@Erich I do appreciate that the dissent rate dipped only slightly (and remains 10x the national average) after we ejected the MAAGA crew.
