I agree on all of it!Soccerdad1995 wrote: ↑Wed Nov 06, 2019 6:28 pm My biggest issue is not with people who decide not to vote, but rather with those folks who feel the need to vote for every race and every measure whether they know anything about it or not. For example, if you don't even know the basic responsibilities of a position, or anything about the people running, then just skip that one! And yes, this includes the "straight ticket" voters. Personally, I would not only eliminate that option, but would also remove the D and R indicators from the candidates names.
This is analogous to the old adage of "it's better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". In this case I would rephrase it as, "it's better to not cast a vote than to cast a completely uninformed one."
Just my 2 cents.
However, the party machines would never let that happen :-(
