I open the paper this morning and I see that Doug Robison beat Steve Burgess by a count of 1922 to 1115. That was the only runoff on the ballot in the whole county. OUT OF ALL OF THE REGISTERED VOTERS IN THIS COUNTY, ONLY 3000 OF YOU VOTED IN A DISTRICT JUDGE RACE, A COUNTY WIDE ELECTION?
Are you kidding me?
This is just the kind of thing that gets you the poor leadership that you have. This is the kind of thing that gets chronic underachievers elected to county offices where they have control over aspects of your lives.
You are letting a small committee make all of the important decisions for the whole. That is not democracy, it is oligarchy (government by committee).
Generations of Americans have fought powerful enemies to perserve our liberties, freedoms, and rights, and you all don't care one bit.
Is the office of the President of the United States the only election you all care about? Do you realize that you could have some complete moron tampering with your property values? Or presiding over your divorce? Or deciding whether there is enough evidence to prosecute a crime against you?
DO YOU REALLY CARE SO LITTLE?

I guess sometimes people think their vote doesn't really count for anything. My husband and I were talking about the Presidential elections. What's with the electoral votes and the popular votes??? Then you have all or nothing states and then you have those that split the votes. I think people are so confused to even care anymore.
By the way, the splitting votes states only applies to which candidate gets delegates in the party convention. That is only a primary thing.
When a candidate in the Presidential election in November wins a state, that candidate gets all of that state's electoral votes. There is no vote splitting in the electoral college.
