I got my ballot today too. In my area there were lots of Supreme Court judges and appellate court judges. I don’t know them from a hole in the ground so I went online and looked to see who appointed them, and a little about each one. Then made my selections. Our local election was sad. Absolutely nobody running except for republicans. We have the choice of the only candidate running, or a write in. All were incumbents, so talk about insuring the good ole boys club!
I have to say...forgot to mention...this ballot was really weird to me. Clinton’s name was at the very top, then all the other candidates, and lastly, Trump. On every ballot I’ve only ever seen the Democrat and Republican listed first, then the others.
In a way, I liked how it was done because there was NO excuse to confuse the vote. It was one of those fill in the oval types so at least it was designed so that nobody could say...I meant to vote for Hillary and lost my place...whatever. Also, you had to read through the list to see the others before getting to Trump.
On the other hand, why was Hillary listed First and not Trump?
