Ballot envy.

Jonathan Bernstein...

...we in Texas have the magic button that allows us to vote a straight ticket with one touch, and I believe, although I'm not certain, that it's a 100% partisan ballot.* We don't have any ballot measures. We do have judges, but they're partisan, so that's helpful.

Wow. No initiatives. Straight ticket voting. Partisan judicial races. Sounds a little bit like heaven to me.

Texas. A nice place to vote, but otherwise, I'm afraid, I wouldn't want to live there.

A quick voter alert…

I'll be posting my ballot choices soon, but f you're an early King County voter and just can't sit around waiting for my full and profound guidance, take a close look at your ballot and be sure you've voted against Initiative 1033. You wouldn't be the first to miss it way down there in the corner...
