Impact analysis
There’s no direct hit to the city budget—the real cost is wasted votes and election confusion.
Informed voters benefit, and the remaining active candidates may benefit if people avoid wasting votes on a withdrawn candidate.
Voters who back Swanson without knowing he quit lose their vote, and the election outcome could be distorted if enough people vote for him anyway.
