As the day draws near, I need to sit down and starting picking some names. I’m curious to know what you guys/gals are looking at with respect to local races at the county/town/city level. Typically, I’ll grab my ballot and start ‘googling’ names. I’ll check out websites, facebook pages, Linkedin, newspaper articles, the usual. But some of these local folks don’t even have that going for them. I tend to DQ them by default if they can’t manage some basic internet skills but I’m curious to know what others are doing. The group on this board seems not to be straight ticket voters, so please share your researching tricks.

I tend to pick a fringe issue that doesn’t factor into the lives of 95% of voters, then base all decisions on that.
I’ve already cast my 5 ballots. So glad California has no voter ID laws.
It’s a complex formula in which candidate hairstyle and height, color scheme of political yard signs, and degree of fearmongering negativity displayed in attack ads are all critical variables.
Picking mine like I pick horses or dogs at the track. However shits last, he’s gonna win.
