Voted my primary ballot today. I had to...
... pick up to 20 choices from a long list for members of the county Democratic Central Committee. A lot of names of people I don't know anything about... other than that they want to volunteer for dems in the county. Some of them have a Facebook page or something like that, but none of them are actually campaigning. So how do I choose?
I could select the first 20. Or the last 20. Or maybe use a random number table. But why vote at all then? How do I make some sort of reasonable selection?
What I did was look up who is on the committee, and voted for all the candidates who were not. I ended up voting for 15 candidates who are not already serving - you don't have to vote all 20. Maybe not the best choice, but at least I had some, somewhat reasonable, criteria!

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
