I try very hard to exercise my right to vote, but this year it’s going to be tough. I lean towards being a Democrat, which means as the uninformed voter that I am (I know, that’s bad), I tend to vote along party lines. For one of the state assembly seats up for grabs this year, though, the Democratic candidate has managed to annoy me to the point where I wouldn’t vote for her if she were the last politician on earth. Seriously, we’ve gotten about 20 mailings, three recorded messages, and two door-to-door visits (thankfully, we weren’t home either time). The irony of it is, if she’d never sent a thing to our house, I would have voted for her, since she’s the Democratic candidate. Now I have to go read up on the other candidates. I suppose while I’m there, I’ll check out the rest of the races, too, and maybe be slightly better informed this year. :P
