Not talking about the November General Election, my choice is pretty obvious.
But early voting has opened for Florida primaries. And they're flooded with tons of candidates for county judgeships, and school boards, and all kinds of boards I didn't even know existed.
I've met some of these judicial candidates at gay functions we've attended, but does their appearing at them make them more qualified than anyone else? And I haven't a clue about school boards.
We used to get a "cheat sheet" from our attorney, but now as Vice Mayor of Fort Lauderdale he's ethically prevented. So I dunno what to do.
We never miss voting, primary or general, but I really just don't know these candidates this time. I would be misusing my vote to just select a name at random.
Would I be a bad citizen to sit this one out? We get a local daily paper, but there's nothing that's giving me a clue about these things.
