The big vote

Voting day is Tuesday. County Clerk expects low turnout.

Voting should be extended to two days, or a weekend, to increase turnout. And now we're going to require IDs and birth certificates to vote. This will drive down turnout even more!

(Clarification: ID requirements will not be in affect for this election. Also, the birth certificate will be required for people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas, not at the polls.)

Dotty Smith is way ahead in our unscientific poll. She does seem to be running hard.

Here's the poll through Wed. at 4 p.m.

Who would you most like to see join (or rejoin) the City Commission?
Chad Giles
(76 Votes, 10%)
Ron Hirst
(198 Votes, 25%)
Joel Hockenbury
(83 Votes, 11%)
Dotty Smith
(261 Votes, 33%)
Jean Snell
(83 Votes, 11%)
Charles Tweedy III
(53 Votes, 7%)
I can't or won't vote.
(32 Votes, 4%)

wow!! 1,321 votes cast in your poll so far! I wonder how you can achieve so many votes unless someone has found a way to vote more than once. Give it up Dotty. Cheating here will not help you at all! Go talk to people for a change. Not the ones you are working with. The ones who will be voting! I think you'll find the same as Margolius in the last election. The three amigos are not wanted here!
