Are you voting tomorrow?

Yes, I'll go to my polling place before work. Will be my most "left-wing" vote in my lifetime I think, though that's just an artifact of what's on the ballot this time around -- Yes on Issue 1 (to enshrine an abortion right in the Ohio Constitution), Yes on Issue 2 (to legalize marijuana), and for a local judgeship I'm voting for the only candidate not touting very tough-on-crime policies on her website (on the grounds that her one opponent seems like an unserious crank; her other opponent seems both really harsh and is endorsed by a dozen unions; she is the only one promising to cut the court's expenditures; and she's also endorsed by multiple local newspapers and is therefore running a relatively serious campaign though I expect the union candidate to win). Also I don't think the area I'm living in has a particular problem with crime at the moment and acting like it does is silly. I am voting for my local county GOP's recommendations for school board, though (this is meaningless because there are 3 candidates running for 3 slots, so everybody wins; I'll be voting for only the 2 of them that have the endorsement).

Funnily enough if we switched places we'd probably vote the same way, I know you wouldn't vote for either of the absolutely atrocious candidates mentioned, although maybe you'd preference the Abolish Bike Lanes guy depending on how you feel about bike lanes. I'd obviously vote the same way as you on the referendums and from what you said for that judge candidate.

Very vaguely in favor, I guess (although not in favor of bike lane mandates if the practical effect is building fewer roads), but the issue is so low-priority for me that I would almost certainly latch on to something random on this person's website -- either a weird issue position or a weird career history -- to decide whether I like them or not.
