Vote on Tuesday so you can complain - otherwise, don't even surface-

Title says it all- while I care about who you can vote for, the overriding deal is to exercise your right to choose.  Make it happen.  We all will address the results downstream.

Ballot referendums can be tricky. Sometimes they're worded such that voting NO actually means YES.

I will vote mid morning to let the working folk go first. I have a choice between two lousy candidates. I will vote for the somewhat less lousy and hope that he gets primaried in two years.

That one was voted properly, it dropped by a few percent overa couple years, then it rebounded. This years fake question is a 4percent increase with those making a million. All proceeds may go to certain things people want but may isn't a guarantee I love the way these get worded.

In Utah I think in 2018 we passed a medical marijuana bill via a people’s referendum and it was fairly straightforward and should have been a great program.  However, Utah is whacky and there is some override that if congress passes a bill it can override the people’s vote.  Needless to say they had a special session and made up the most garbage of a medical program you could imagine. 

Anyways I get it fish politicians are just good at messing things up.

For sure the language of any amendments are clouded by the party in power at the state level.  Gonna be quite a ride in the next day or two, at a minimum.  The spin doctors are just getting warmed up.

You really have to read those things several times, what are they saying, what are they not saying. There should be an ethics committee that monitors something so simple

Dropped a bunch of ballots off at the box today.  Nobody was surveilling.

My true hope is to keep the crazies and hateful out of our government.  Let the moderates sort it out.

I voted last week as we were supposed to be enjoying Fort Myers Beach right now. . . we also have a nail biter.  Governor is a dead heat according to media.  Proposal 3 in MI is. . . well. . . a very hot topic.

I am surprised nobody has been canvassing under served communities and telling them to vote on Nov. 9th.. That seems to happen a few times over a voting season.

I just got email confirmation my ballot has been tabulated and they sent me this.

Well, since I didn't win the Powerball and cannot flee to New Zealand, I guess I shall vote.

I remember when you were lamenting taxes in AZ and were considering a move to the gulf coast.

My wife convinced me to early vote this time.    I never have before b/c I like the fanfare of the actual day.    Fun voting 3x in one year:   primary, primary runoff and actual vote.   I have all 3 stickers.

I lament all taxes.  Gulf Coast would still be great.  I like change.  Almost moved to Utah earlier this year too.
