What are you doing holding an election in an odd year anyway?

It’s a “special election”. A few tax issues, Casino gambling, and 2 possible changes to county gvt (related to the corruption indictment).

“What are you doing holding an election in an odd year anyway?”

Gives the powers that be a better chance to push things through. Less general interest, less voter turnout, get “your” people out and maybe you win outright or if not then you only have to cheat by tens of votes instead of hundreds.

Our county moved our voting loction just before the primary this year.

A little hard to find when I went to vote then but breezed in today.

D’s got to be careful with that trick as most R’s can noodle it out and find the darn place.

But the ONLY question is:

Are YOU a “minority” trying to vote for democrats?

Or are YOU the evil, rich, racist, hate-filled, republican bigot trying to oppress minorities, and kill women and children by polluting the environment?
