An IP editor added a section under 2024 mayoral races for seats that changed parties based upon the existence of a similar section in the 2023 U.S. elections article. Of the four races listed, three of them are officially non-partisan contests. The victor may be affiliated with a different political party than the previous office holder, but the race wasn't a partisan contest. To me it seems this should be handled more like was done in the 2018 and 2019 articles, noting changes when the race was partisan and then more broadly note trends about the affiliation of election winners.

The maps seem to be incorrectly formatted or something, as the legend and the maps don’t match up. BrokenSquarePiece ^{(complete me)} 23:50, 5 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Already done Text search didn't find any matches for "Waltz", so I'm presuming that the error was in a previous version of the page. Liu1126 (talk) 00:40, 7 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
