Getting ready for my first US elections
I just got a sample of the ballot for Florida elections (November 4 2014).
The ballot looks like list of exam questions:
There are 23(!) multiple choice questions.
Who do I like to see as representatives and senators to Florida and US congresses?
Attorney General and CFO for Florida State?
Retain judge X for district court of appeal? (7 sits/questions).
Airport authority board members (2 sits).
Mosquito control commissioners (2 sits).
I spent few hours preparing for the test elections.
There are some good (smart) candidates.
There are some weak candidates.
I chose some republican candidates, couple of libertarians and one independent (Rebecca S. Sharp who's calling herself "old republican").
Democrats would not get my votes this election.
Got 3 "constitutional amendments" questions.
No - to increase in spending [on Water and Land Conservation].
Yes - to medical marijuana.
No - to giving Florida governor some extra power to assign judges in some obscure situations.
