elections-- that far too many skip over. I'm sure like me, that you don't want book banners making decisions, nor climate deniers/vaxx conspiracy theory types making health or other development policy decisions for your city/county.

I say this, as I am contemplating spending several hours trying to research some of these people for my ballot, given some of this info is not that easy to obtain. For that reason, I fear the amount of our very long ballot that many may just leave blank, or subject to a coin flip. I have no idea what yours is like, but the Voter's "Bluebook" was 96 pages--received a week ago and there is another 25-page addendum I just pulled from my mailbox. That covers the ballot initiatives, at least. Presumedly my mail ballot is coming shortly. October 11 is supposedly mail day but some years I've received it earlier.

Never a more important election. Never more challenge to "getting it ALL right."
