I know that no politician will say this, but failed candidate that I am — I publicly encourage people NOT to vote — if they don’t know what or whom they are voting for.
And just because one chooses to vote, it doesn’t follow that one has to cast a vote for EVERY issue or candidate on the ballot.
It’s especially amazing how some people worry about the judges races, asking someone — anyone — to simply tell ’em how to vote. I get queries even on the UNOPPOSED judges races.
If ya don’t know, there’s nothing wrong with not voting. And I think we’ll all be better off if voters made that “abstain” choice when appropriate.
Hmmm . . . maybe I should have imparted this cracker barrel wisdom BEFORE the election. My bad.
