Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for
But I do know that one and one is two
And if this one could be with you
What a wonderful world this would be.

What a wonderful world it would be indeed if Aspen City officials had more respect for some of the basic democratic principles we treasure in America! If you're like everybody else we've talked to about this, you're not gonna believe The Red Ant at first, but see for yourself...
The bottom line is that in the upcoming May election for Mayor and two council seats, Aspen will be using an election system that's never been tried before in the United States, where, depending on the mathematical scheme chosen to tabulate votes, there could be different results as to who is declared the winner. And guess who's designing and proposing the new election rules?
