Election Day

Don’t forget to vote!

Do yourself and your neighbor a favor: don’t vote based on what advocacy groups say about the results of any of the issues.

Don’t vote for Issue 3 because you think it will keep money and jobs in Ohio. Vote on the issue of whether or not you are in favor of gambling limited to certain areas. Don’t vote for Issue 2 because you think it will keep the Humane Society from getting on farmers’ cases. Vote on whether you think a governor-handpicked 12-person board is the best way to serve the farmer and the consumers in Ohio. Don’t vote for Issue 1 because you think paying our armed services is a good thing; vote on whether you think it’s good to pay them by incurring debt.

If we draw our judgments from the text of what we are voting on, then we don’t have to rely on the people who are paid to give us their point of view.

Go vote! May the best views (mine?) win! ;)

  1. No elections in my community. The politicians are warming up for the state-wide winter primaries, which include the governor and lieutenant governor. The lieutenant governor is elected on a separate ballet, which means come next November, there could be a Democrat elected to one of the offices, and a Republican elected to the other. I don’t know if that has ever happened, but the possibility is there.
