Tons of compost
Good morning everyone.
Well, it's election day today. I actually voted last Friday and took it to the post office.
Had about a dozen local initiatives and a couple of amendments to pour over. And a half dozen judicial races that had only one candidate. Can't see a reason to check the box when there is only one box.
Funnily enough, one of the initiatives proposed eliminating those voter preferences on the ballot if only one person was running.
Makes sense to me. There were probably a dozen races where there was only one person to vote for.
It isn't voter turnout that we lack, it's candidate turnout.
I suspect it has to do with money, or lack thereof.
And while I'm at it, I think we need an initiative to make all election yard signs compostable.
Thread is open.
Did we win yet? Sooo much winning.

Third try

responses are being eaten for some reason. Last try:
Composting campaign signs is a good idea. Not a big fan
of all these road side placards. Understand people want to
make a statement, but take them down after the fact. Would
rather admire the colorful foliage without the distractions.
Thanks for the OT.

I broke with tradition and
voted early. We had a very heavy turn out, so I figured today would be a long line, long wait day. I like to wait until the last day to see if any candidate gets arrested or makes a total ass of themselves right up until the polls open.
We did not have a single Democrat on the ballot in my county or district. They were decided upon in the primaries.
Insofar as state races, I flipped from my support of democrats in judges races. I have always understood democrats would be less punitive at punishment phase, and more receptive to the little people suing a corporation. However, the trend to buck ICE has led to countless low bond releases of immigrants with a violent criminal history. The last murder and mass murder in my county were committed by immigrants with violent priors. A judge released the single murder guy with an ankle monitor. He removed it and tried to escape across the border. He had weapons in his vehicle.
The whole voting experience for me was pretty much useless. On the other hand, I needed the reckoning, to fully understand that I am what TPTB consider a useless eater, just in their way, a hurry up and die person.
The value of signs is that it marks my neighbors as people with whom a chat should be mostly about the weather.
