A quick definition of home-rule charter:

Home-Rule Charter: A home-rule charter is a type of charter that gives a city or town the power to govern itself. It allows the community to create its own laws and regulations, rather than following those set by the state or federal government. This means that the people who live in the community have more control over how things are run and can make decisions that are specific to their needs.

A more thorough explanation:

A home-rule charter is a type of charter that allows a local government to create its own rules and regulations. This means that the government can make decisions that are specific to their community, rather than following state or federal laws.

For example, a city with a home-rule charter may be able to pass laws about zoning, taxes, and public services that are different from the laws in other cities in the same state.

Another example is a county with a home-rule charter that decides to ban certain types of businesses from operating within its borders, even if those businesses are legal in the state.

These examples illustrate how a home-rule charter gives local governments more control over their own affairs, and allows them to tailor their laws to the needs and preferences of their community.

I've been reading a bit about "herding," which is this idea that pollsters are making the race look tied so they look right no matter who wins.

Like... it's a more involved app but you don't have to do it? They're clearly trying to have some self-selection go on

TheAdoptedOne

I 100% agree with the self selection, I also am not even close to touching the medians there. However I think the huge PS plus the video and especially the very specific criteria for the why Berkeley essay is pretty crazy
