I voted Republican

[ellid]

For state auditor, since the Republican candidate a) is actually a CPA with auditing experience, b) not nearly as obnoxious as the Democratic candidate, and c) never tried to slip one past the state by declaring BOTH her homes her primary residence for tax purposes, unlike her opponent.

I also wrote in someone against my state senator, whom I have never liked but is so powerful that no one will run against him. Never did that before.

I voted for the Democrats in every other race, from governor to state rep. I don't like any of the Republican positions nor any of the Republicans running except the state auditor candidate.

I also voted against every single ballot initiative this year. I'm particularly hoping that #3, which would be an economic disaster for Massachusetts, goes down in flames.

That's how I started my day, friends. What about you?

I, too, voted Republican for County official because I liked what he said about education.

For county councilpeople, I got to vote for one green candidate. The rest were Dems, when they had an affiliation. I also got to vote for a bunch of women.

I got vote for people I thought had been doing a good job (Barbara Mikulski and Donna Edwards) and some people I had no clue who they were.

I do wish more info had been available because it was hard to find out exactly who thought what, especially about judges.

But, I voted. Hopefully, this set of people will do a good job.

I thought I felt a tremor of some magnitude this morning!

I voted too. I also hope that the sales tax question flops - again. Now, if someone proposed rolling back that new 1.25% bit back to the old 5%, I could get behind that, no problem.

I'd have made the same choice.

I voted yes on the housing question, because developers are using it as a way to build yet more expensive house, because communities are required to support it even if they can't afford it, and because individual housing that is affordable is not allowed to be counted as affordable housing because they aren't part of an apartment complex. Sunderland has been doing battle with a developer for all of these reasons for a few years now.
