Yay voting!
I'm always a fan of voting season. I'm looking forward to early voting, when they start early voting in Chapel Hill. I'm a bit surpised to see no Carrboro site. Also, I wonder why, if 1 site gets extra days of early voting compared to others, that its not in the largest population center, just in terms of how much voting they are going to have to process (although I guess it makes sense since its the BoE office).If anyones interested:Equality NC endorsements:http://equalitync.org/pac/2010g Indy Week endorsements:http://www.indyweek.com/indyweek/elections-10-a-bumpy-ride/Content?oid=1...Orange Dems Endorsements:

Thanks!
Thanks for that, I was just gonna pop on here and ask if anyone had some good resources for those of us who haven't been paying much attention to the races up to this point.I can't stand the southern Democrats. Marshall going on in that debate about "shipping our jobs overseas" was nauseating populist protectionist crap. And of course Burr and the rest of the intellectually fraudulent social paternalist Republicans are not an option. I'll probably go straight-up Libertarian.In other words, I don't matter even a little bit.
Understandable
I was just talking about the libertarian performance in the debate. Rather than recreate the wheel, I'll just repost my comment from BlueNC:
Good Analysis
"...I don't find libertarianism very compatible with federal agencies functioning effectively..."Hah, I guess the question is whether this is a bug or a feature!Like you mentioned, I think its important for libertarians to point out the fraud of the supposed Republican fiscal austerity. Libertarians have long hammered Republicans from the social side and Democrats from the economic side. But the fact is that the Republican party is full of big spenders and entitlement-happy populists, and the Democratic party is full of drug warriors and folks reluctant to respect civil liberties.I think it's important to pressure the two parties to uphold the principles for which they supposedly stand.
The instant runoff for the
The instant runoff for the Court of Appeals is going to be confusing for the voters. I wish the media was pushing this info more. Any opinions?
agreed
I have enough trouble knowing one judge to vote for. Now I have to remember 3. And in order, no less. IRV may make theoretical sense, but especially in judicial races where 99% of the voters don't know enough to make an informed choice it is really complicated.
There should be info at the polls
IRV is not complicated and we need to make use of it a lot more. Hopefully there is a description of it at the polls.
I voted
I was voter number 332 in Hillsborough this morning. They have more than enough staff to accomodate folks right now, so if you're looking to get your voting on early, it's a good time. Both the Democrats and Republicans had a table out - first time I had seen an organized Republican effort at an early polling place in a few years, but admittedly, I usually vote at Morehead.
I was 327 at Morehead this (monday) afternoon
There were no lines, but quite a few voters and poll workers.They gave instructions on how to do the IRV for judges. Theinstructions were clear.
