lagilman Washington State's voter pamphlet has arrived. I'm preparin' to do my thing for Democracy and Sanity....
(yes, this state sends you a pamphlet a month before the election, with all the issues and candidates up for decision, so you have time to actually look at things and learn about them before you MAKE your decision....
And then you can mail it in, and track your vote all the way to the counting pile.
Oh, and we use a Top 2 Primary system, rather than a party nominating system. So the general election is not inevitable R vs D, but "the two candidates out of the whole pack who got the most votes in the primary."
Washington State's not perfect, but it's got a pretty decent handle on this democracy thing, right now.
