Thanks for the sample ballot. I see how it's set up now. I also see the dilemma. I hope people will be disgusted enough to mark Cheeks name. I'm thinking Monks & snowballs probably have a lot in common. Actually I kind of wish he had just stayed out of it. I don't like a 3 way. Splits the vote too much. I'd like to have seen what would have happened in the primary had it just been Freda & Fonger.

I'm worried about an outcome like this

Nifong: 49%
Cheek: 48%
Monks: 3%

51% don't want Nifong but he wins anyway. That's why Monks is a spoiler if he divides the vote even a little.

I can see how a DEM who doesn't like Nifong, but not used to voting anything but a straight party ticket, would vote straight DEM and then check the UNA Cheek. This would spoil the ballot and lose Cheek a vote. There are a lot of ways where Nifong wins with a minority of votes.
