Election Day
Yes, I voted. My wife and I voted for opposing members of the House, the same for the Senate, and split on two of the ballot initiatives.
On many things, I tend to agree with KMW, but not here. I think you do get better people, overall, with indirect democracy. That said, the Senate was never supposed to be directly-elected (mark me down as being against the Seventeenth Amendment), and I think the House should be made proportional again. If they’ve gotta hold session in the Kennedy Center, so be it.
Chances are everyone I voted for will lose.
But how many candidates did I really vote for; was I just voting against certain people? Perhaps.
