This is more of my perspective of how the current election by district setup will play out.  Two at-large seats:Historically Chapel Hill and Carrboro residents have controlled 60% of the votes at a minimum, meaning at least one of the two at-large seats will be filled by a district 1 supported candidate.   Most terms District 1 will control both seats and rarely if Hillsborough and Rural OC can agree on a candidate they'll have one at-large seat.Three District 1 seats:Obviously Carrboro and Chapel Hill supported seats.Two District 2 seats:I see both will be controlled by Hillsborough residence unless the rural areas from southeastern and northern parts of the county will agree on a candidate and that's not going to proactively happen before our next opportunity at having representation.
