What is up with the NC District Court Judge ones? I don't understand those.

The Indy Week paper publishes voting guides. They have one for the primary from earlier this year but so far nothing for the main election. They do actually research the issues, so I like to see their suggestions, but keep in mind that they are socialist liberal scum.

I also like to vote for write-ins, so if there's every anyone validly trying to make a campaign as a write-in I try to support them.

Post suggestions here before Oct 18 so people like me can put it in our notes.

I'm betting Indy will have their stuff in next week's issue. They tend to wait until the week early voting starts to put it out. I like reading the candidate responses to their questionnaires that they put up on the website.

What don't you understand?

You can only vote for one, 11 times.

It would make sense if there were any other distinguishing syntax.
I mean, you could do seat #1 through seat #11
then I would know that these are all separate races for different seats.

10/12/2012 10:17:40 AM

Ahh yeah, it's kind of dumb how they don't differentiate. I can see how that's confusing.

10/12/2012 10:18:56 AM

^^ so is my reading of it correct?

10/12/2012 10:29:40 AM

Yep, you're correct. Several seats open in the same district. So you have one vote for each open seat. Most of them are uncontested so it's not like it even really matters

I'm just here because I thought this was a tipping thread
