LOCAL ELECTIONS - What local elections/ballot measures do you want to advise people on?
LANDSLIDE 2020
Permastickied until the election
We think nationally a lot, but let's talk local for a bit!
Rules for this thread are pretty simple. Top-level posts must be structured as such or they'll be deleted:
[STATE]
[COUNTY/CITY/etc (if applicable)]
[Position title. School board, police chief, dog catcher, tax hike, etc.]: -Who is the MAGA candidate(s), or Yes/No to the initiative. Please include an explanation (and link, if possible)
Example:
NORTH DAKOTA
FARGO COUNTY
Police Chief:
-Deputy Dangle. He puts rollerskating hookers away and doesn't afraid of anything
School tax increase
-Vote NO. They're failing our students, churning out rollerskating hookers. They'll use the money for rayciss training anyway.
If you're looking for advice for your state/county, ctrl-F and search for it. If nothing comes up, do some research and advise others!
n Florida, NO to Amendment 3. It would allow all voters regardless of party to vote in the Republican and Democrat primaries. The Democrats could hand-pick their opponents, and could even have two (D)'s running against each other with not a single (R) to oppose them.
This is insidious!
Any other stuff we need to not vote on in Florida
No on Amendment 2 as well, which would raise the minimum wage to $15. Definitely Yes on Amendment 1 so non-citizens can't vote in local elections, and Yes on Amendment 4, so that we don't have dozens of amendments added to the constitution every year.
Not sure what county you're in, but if you look up your local republican party you should be able to find a voting guide. Or if you tell me what county you're in I can look at the ballot and try and help.
I am in Escambia county. It’s my first time ever voting so I wanna do it right.
Congratulations! And good on you for wanting to do the election right, too many people don't do enough research before voting.
So for the Amendments, I would say vote Yes on 1 and 4, and vote No on 2 and 3. 5 and 6 I'm not sure about, many republicans say to vote Yes on them so I may do that. The most important ones are 1-4 though.
I looked up the ballot for Escambia and put together a list. If I missed any races let me know and I can look them up, I tried looking through all the district numbers listed here but I probably missed some. If you know the number for your district I can see if there were any other races I should look up.
