Opinion An Option for the Discontented
Editor's Note: Lots of editorials over the next couple of days through the election.
This year's race sees many worthy candidates and many that need to be kicked out of office. However, in some cases there are no good options.
Take the Town of Summit. Cassandra Ethington ally Harold Vroman has the Republican, Democratic, and Conservative Parties' backing and faces no opposition. This should not be the case for a myriad of reasons.
If you are faced with a situation where there is no one to vote for I have a simple suggestion. Write in someone as a protest vote. Let's all have the same name so that it can register in the final tally. Might I suggest "the Schoharie News" so that we can see how many people are tired of the existing system and the lack of choice.
If you don't have a good candidate write in this newspaper. Can't be any worse than what we have now.
