God help us all !
Praying for sanity in this election.
Maybe this is Willoughby and it will never end…
You could avoid the agony by moving to Arizona, Saskatchewan, even Russia.
I need the extra hour because I’m still undecided between Trump, Clinton, or Woog, as a write-in!
Unfortunately, Dan’s not an approved write-in candidate so a vote for him won’t be counted. I was going to submit the appropriate paperwork on his behalf but, when I asked him, he declined saying “If nominated, I will not run; if elected, I will not serve” as he thought he could add more value to society by continuing to publish 06880 and coaching soccer. I respected his wishes.
By what rationale does the state smother our freedom of speech and our electoral rights by allowing only votes for “approved” write-in candidates. That seems to violate any number of laws, starting with the Constitution. I fully understand that write-ins are unlikely to win, but why should we be precluded from casting a vote to make a point?
Who approves write-in candidates? Who comprises the Electoral College? What ever happened to the idea of “One Vote One Voice”? Certainly a wacky way to run a National election.
I’m off to buy a crate of good Scotch now… enough to last until 2020, or beyond.
Not here in AZ!! We don’t want no Government telling us what time it is!! We’re a Red State and proud of it!! Or something like that.
Gee, I would have happily voted for Dan!!!! Not that I would want to subject him to the job, but then he has had some experience moderating this blog in our creatively outspoken town.
I would have voted for Dan also BUT we do need him more doing what he does here.
Make Westport great again!
Now THAT’S a TOUGH job!!!!!
