Local election
The local Satanist-Leninist Poison Vendors still haven't adjusted to voting by mail, though it's been standard here since 2006, and standard across the state since 2010. Just now one of the radio stations said "It's Election Day! Make it count!"
Well, if you haven't already sent in your ballot, your vote doesn't count. So the exhortation is completely meaningless.
Voting no longer has any effect in national-level elections, which are completely rigged and predetermined. Goldman owns DC. Period.
But voting still occasionally makes a marginal difference with city and state candidates, and has real influence through initiatives and referenda. A referendum is direct legislation, and (at least here in Wash) the state gov't actually tries to obey it for a while. Thus you can alter the behavior of the rulers for a couple years by enacting a referendum.
Replacing one legislator by another is totally pointless. A candidate capable of changing things rarely makes it to the ballot, and even if he gets elected he will be instantly neutered and 'crazified' by the establishment.
Only one of the local contests is important this time: the mass-murdering Stalinist cadre is trying to enact their animal "rights" insanity yet again. They've pared it down some, so it's not quite up to Bolivian standards, but it would still create massive chaos and civic bankruptcy if enacted. ¶ 5:06 AM
