Voting

Marigold, go, vote and just don't select any candidates, or if you can find one person vote for that one. It will be recorded that out of X voters, A got so many votes and b got so many votes, and they don't equal the total, so the "protest" votes(or lack thereof) are noted. That makes more of an impact than staying home.

I realized years ago that is all they do so it looks like you just have the choice of the lesser evil.. I can't understand why they don't run on their own record, things they have accomplished and what their qualifications are for the position they are running for. All they do is smear one another!

Years ago there was a guy running for the local school board and his thing was he was going to build us a new school to replace the one that burned down and get the kids out of portable buildings... the same promises they all had made before him and never did. So, when he knocked on my door telling me that I told him so many others before him made the same promise but no one ever fulfilled that promise and asked him why I should believe him.. How could he do what no one else could do..

Well SURPRISE! He won and he DID build us a new school! I still haven't figured out how he did it when no one else could.

You can do write a in if you aren't happy with the runners. I did that one time. It really messed up things for the volunteers that day though.

Yes I will take your advice Karen. I just so hate how they all lie about the other person, twisting the truth, confusing people and scaring the elderly.

I knew you could write in votes, I didn't know you could vote without selecting anyone!

Yes, you can turn in a blank ballot if you really need to. And it does send a message!

Absolutely vote. Sadly it's come down to voting to keep the least sane OUT of office. I wish they would run on their record/principles etc rather than taking it to the gutter. I think it's left to us to ignore the ads and do the research. I find it particularly revolting that many people are able to buy there way into office these days. I already voted!
