ELECTION 2009: GET OUT THERE AND VOTE…

November 3rd, 2009

Today, 3 November, Ohioans go to the polls to vote on a number of significant state-wide and local issues. I’m voting by mail this year so the following is what I think. If you haven’t already voted, get your butt out there and do it.

Issue No. 1: Vote No. If Ohio really wants to help veterans, then offer them free education in any of the state’s institutions of higher learning. If they already have an undergraduate degree, then offer them the opportunity to earn an advanced degree tuition free.

Issue No. 2: Vote No. Previously: 28 September, 11 October, Ohio Bounty

Issue No. 3: Vote HELL No! Previously: 24 September, 27 September, 30 September, 13 October, 20 October, 26 October, 27 October, 28 October, 30 October, 1 November

Issue No. 4: Vote Yes.

Issue No. 5: Vote No. Previously: 14 October, 15 October, 19 October, 20 October, 29 October

Issue No. 6: Vote No. Previously: 11 October, 15 October, 19 October, 20 October, 25 October, 28 October, 29 October, 1 November

And if we do vote yes on Issue 6 Issue 5 (thank you Adam), we’re supposed to pick no more than 15 names from a list of 29 politicians? How many people are going to go through the list?

I completed, sealed and mailed my ballot today, 22 October.

    Hi Jeff,

    Are you sure that you can’t find the ballot language? Have you tried this.

    Absentee voting has been going on for days (my ballot is sitting right in front of me). I received my Issue 6 mailer about a week ago and you can also read the charter here.

    Shalom Adam,

    Yeah, yeah, yeah. I’m spoiled. I wanted the text in easily readable form for like you get from the State, not a facsimile of the ballot itself.

    Thank you for the PDF on Issue 6, I got a copy of it in the mail, but I find it interesting that it doesn’t clearly say that it is the Issue 6 language.

    B’shalom,

    Jeff

    Hi Jeff. Issue 5 is the one you’re picking charter commission members for. Not 6. It’s a real bear trying to keep your head right about these issues. Even Tim got confused by all of the fingers in the various pies.

    Shalom Adam,

    Thank you. Yes, I’m about this close to saying a pox on both their houses and encouraging the FBI to arrest the lot.

    B’shalom,

    Jeff

  5. [...] fall I encouraged people to vote no on Issue 2, Ohio’s Ohio Livestock Care Initiative Consitutional Amendment because I knew it was bad law. [...]
