I agree, especially for my small town. I hardly get info on who is running and for what. Even the town website doesn’t have like an election thing or place to put the candidates.

I always show up seeing names I don’t know.

Just got the Blue post card in the mail yesterday that said “Vote Row A, Democrat”

Fine, but we can at least put an attempt to be informative. Lol

If you want real chaos, let's just put names and omit their political parties altogether. It could be said that listing the party could be providing undue influence to vote for someone they otherwise wouldn't.

Haha, I’ve always said that. But you would expose and embarrass a lot of people if they started voting on issues only ;)

At this point I would settle for the semi-closed primaries to allow Unenrolled voters to vote in them. Wherever that is used, the kook quotient seems to be much lower.

I noticed you put “none of them” on one. When going in they always say “each line must be filled in or it won’t take your ballot”

I’ll have to look into that option, I’ve always just picked a random person if I didn’t like the top 2.

I did fill in every one, put it on the "Write In" line.
