The City County Observer is pleased to release the results of its online poll asking their readers about their intentions on how they intend to vote in the upcoming election. The choice “Split Ticket” was made by 216 respondents, while “Straight Republican Ticket” took in 88, and “Straight Ticket Democrat” garnered 76 reader’s preference.
We are pleased to see that such an overwhelming majority are planning to split their ticket that indicates more thought and attention than just “pulling the rooster” or “pulling the elephant” would indicate. We do realize that some people think it through completely and make an informed decision to go with a straight ticket. To those straight ticket voters we offer a high five for your devotion to ideology.
To those who can’t even tell you the name of the candidates or any of their positions, our request is that you spend the next two days getting informed so that your vote is worthy of being counted. Those who will not think and look to others to tell them how to vote, should do us all a favor and abstain from going to the polls. If you can’t run with the thinking dogs, then please just stay on the porch.
