I actually read the Voter’s Pamphlet. Strange, I know. Out of 19 issues on my ballot, which includes state, county, and local ballot measures, eight were unopposed – so over 40% of my job was done before filling in that first bubble.
There is nothing too juicy to vote on in the November 8 Washington State General Election (except for maybe the highly debated and publicized I-1183), so a few of my choices this year were based off of silly things like “I don’t want to vote for this guy because he looks like a weenie” or “this dude reminds me of Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation and that’s funny”. Maybe not the best way to choose a candidate, but when there is little distinguishing the two on paper, you work with what you’ve got!
Alas, here are my picks for 2011 Washington State General Election – enjoy!
