For Star subscribers: There aren't many of them, they aren't well-funded, but they might put the idea of ward-only elections back on Tucson's ballot.
Supporters of another effort to change Tucson's election system are at it again, collecting signatures outside in the early July heat. They're doing so despite the fact that, if history is any guide, the effort is likely to be fruitless.
I've never liked the system, though I understand its theoretical benefits, because I don't think any ward's voters should ever be overruled by the city's voters as to who should represent the ward. This has happened occasionally, especially in Wards 4 and 2 on the city's east side, where Republican voters are more concentrated.
As of the last filing in May, the committee supporting the effort had raise all of $1,325. Roman Campuzano, the committee's treasurer, acknowledged fundraising was light but thinks that will change. But that hasn't robbed the idea of its appeal to some of us. That same year, in early 2016, the city's charter review committee made recommendations for reforming the election system.
