Does that even make sense? Not only are the candidates clearly distinguished by having "Republican" and "incumbent" written next to them, it's also ranked choice. So why would someone who wants to vote for Sullivan and is still confused not simply rank those two? Would the votes for the wrong (weaker) candidate not automatically count for the correct (stronger) candidate once they are removed from the pool?

Conversely, if you were a Democrat trying to up your chances, this would be an extremely ineffective way of doing that and a waste of time and resources. I may be misunderstanding ranked choice voting here, so if that's the case, please someone clear it up for me.

    Man, that sucks. An absolute legend. There are few people, fictional or real, who had a more profound influence on my outlook on life, humanity, and what's good in this world than he did in his role as Captain Picard.

    RIP, mon capitaine. You will be missed.

    See title. Currently reading through the books and would like to listen to re-read the first one as an audiobook (and the other ones once I'm done reading). Does anyone have any recommendations about which narrators they enjoyed?

    On libro.fm, I can see the following three versions of the series. The names listed are the names of the narrators:

    Luke Daniels / PJ Ochlan (Macmillan Audio, 2014)

    Rosalind Chao / Jess Hong (Macmillan Audio, 2024) [This one does not seem to have a book #3 yet]

    Daniel York Loh (Bloomsbury, 2023)

    I'm currently leaning towards one of the first two. What I normally look for in audiobooks is good sound quality and a narrator who entertains but sticks to reading without acting the whole thing out. Bonus points here would be if the narrator showed some cultural sensibility, especially with regards to names of people/places and some of the historical context given in the books.
