I face a ballot full of people in like 3 key (to me) races. I was going to skip the damn thing (it's a primary, not a general election where my choice is frankly automatic), but I find myself with strong negative opinions about a couple of candidates (both in 5-way races) and if nothing else, just to vote for one of the "non-negatives" is reason enough to get off my rusty dusty and vote (though actually I've probably put like 10 hours at least into research so far ... sigh). Will likely flip a coin for the top 2 choices (to me) in a couple races, but considering those are 5-way races... that's good, sigh, I guess. No wonder I feel stupid and ignorant.

This is what democracy looks like (chant)



Like making sausage...
