The vote-by-mail ballot, the P.O. Box, and I finally connected and I have submitted my votes. All of my votes were against, none for any candidate or proposition. Several votes for Republican candidates were cast as the only hope of seeing the back of the Democrat, not because I like anything about the Republican. Even though I may be in greater agreement with one or more third party types, I see voting that way as a wasted vote: expressing my agreement with a guaranteed loser ranks far below the, admittedly small in Oregon, possibility of voting out the Dems.
How about you folk? Are any of you finding cause to vote for anyone or anything in other than a hold-your-nose sense?
