Going on lunch. Too many old people if I try to go before work. 🙂 Plus, this is the first election using the new optical reader systems and I guess it’s a mess with no one knowing what is going on. I figure by lunch time they should have it working, or have gone to some fallback setup. ---

I’ll be honest - I dont know enough about the candidates to make an informed decision and I refuse to vote blindly down party lines. So Im not voting this time. ---

I might actually vote for a Republican :eek: Not voting for Dan Ward after he pulled that shit suing the town of Amherst. I either need to pick a republican out of the three for town board or only vote for two. ---

While not a great decision, I can respect this more than the people who don’t know anything about the races and just go vote anyway. And Joe, it’s ok, because I’m voting for a Democrat, Glascott for Sheriff. :eek: ---

> [@99\_civic\_si](#): > > I see that you are an educated voter. Thank you. I voted Howard once, based on his very distinguished resume over the past 30 years. I’m voting Glascott based on Howard’s resume from the last 4 years. I understand he’s working with a horrible budget. I’ll even give him a pass on telling the Justice Department they are too busy running the jail to give them a tour because I accept that it’s a stall tactic. But if you’re going to use “too busy” as your BS excuse you better have the common sense to tell tell Keanu’s film crew the same line. ---

I voted for Charlie Fieramusca in '05, he woulda made a damn good sheriff. I’m voting against Howard again. ---

I just realized something, and it was brilliant. If the Republicans had nominated someone to run against Brown, they would’ve gotten stomped. By not doing so, the inner city voters are not going to come out to vote for whitey with him guaranteed another term, when otherwise they would have. That’s a huge portion of the democratic population in Erie County staying home. Doesn’t bode well for Glascott, Poloncarz, and the county legislature, who in the later two cases had the advantage of the Brown vs. Helfer race 4 years ago to bring out the troops in the city. Lets see how that affects the results ☹ [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/so-who-voted-today/75655.md?page=2)
