What's frustrating is this isn't even a case where voters have simply rejected something. Bowser's DDOT proposed an ambitious W3 road safety project, it was supported by all 4 ANCs, and Bowser in Dec 2021 gave full support to that W3 project. How did W3 voters react in 2022 when they voted?

W3 voters voted heavily in support of Bowser in the primary and general election. Not only that, W3 voters picked a Dem CM in the primary that supported the W3 project (I believe all of them did!) - and then soundly rejected the GOP nominee who based his campaign opposing the W3 safety project.
