Don’t believe the naysayers. No matter which state you are in, your vote is important. Extreme Conservatives have been taking over school boards and imposing their agenda on kids.
Offices like Sheriff, Coroner, Secretary of State, Lt Governor, State Representatives, City and County Councils etc. are all important.
Every Vote Counts!!!!!
And every cunt votes, so do it too!
Thank you for making me laugh today.
Definitely agree with this. As someone from Oregon where my vote doesn't really matter on the national elections I make sure to vote still to influence local elections. Only problem with those is that finding info on the candidates can be hard or sometimes there is only one candidate for a position.
I'm lazy so I tend to look up endorsements from unions
That's a good idea. I usually look to see who the Oregon Progressive Party endorses but unions would probably be good to look at too.
Oregonians also get a voters guide with statements from candidates and for/against statements for ballot measures. It is useful in combination with other sources of information. And we do entirely vote by mail, so we have time to do a little research.
Coroner??? As in the person who notes that people are dead??? That's an elected position? What? Why? How can that even possibly be political? "This person has gone red but they should have gone blue instead. Make them get back up and start walking around until they do dying right!"; "Cause of death: Being a gorram !"; "You're not allowed to die, we've had too many deaths this week and I won't get elected again if you do. Stop pretending to be cold and stiff!". What?
The coroner could rule on whether a death is suspicious or not. Like if a brown person dies in custody, the coroner may or may not chock it up to "natural causes" depending on their political leanings.
This is just wild conjecture on my part -- I don't think I get to vote for coroner locally -- but I could definitely see that happening.
