I vote for everything possible even if I don't know who any of the local people are or what they do in the offices they are running for.

the best thing about this is a lot of people do it so in less publicized offices people with the most normal sounding name tend to win a lot

like i read an article about a veteran judge named rajiv or something with 20 years of experience losing an election in pennsylvania to a professional baker with no courtroom experience lmao

in florida supreme court and appellate judges are appointed but have to face retention votes every 6 years where they can be voted out, it's dumb though because no judge has ever been fired via a retention vote bc who the gently caress cares about whether or not a random judge should continue judging? they gonna put blacks in the electric chair regardless

I got my voting record mailed to me and it shamed my neighbor hood, I voted 100% of the time the last 3 elections, my neighbors did not, Dems and Reps sent the same mailer, so I owned my neighborhood twice.

did not know voting records were public access. having voted only 2 times at 30 doesn't look good for my political career, :(

If you wanna cause problems say "I can't believe its letting me vote AGAIN!" in a hushed tone from the booth. Bonus points if an elderly man tries to detain you. You must be wearing cargo shorts and a trenchcoat at the time though
