Last night I printed my sample ballot and spent a few hours with my computer and with the newspaper "Voter's Guide."In some ways it reminded me of preparations for taking a standardized test. Scan-tron form. Check. No. 2 pencil. Check. Multiple choice. Check.
The difference is I'm not sure my studying will help me know the "right" answers for this test.
That makes this a little trickier than the regular standardized tests I've taken. But after last night I feel a little better about it all. I've done what I can to learn about the candidates I'm being asked to choose between, in all of the the races on my ballot. President, US Senate, US House, NC House, NC Senate, Governor, Lt. Governor, Secretary of State, Auditor, Treasurer, County Commissioner, Court of Appeals Judge, and the choices go on and on.
This year, more than any other, I've felt anxiety about these elections and how to vote. I hope I do OK. Actually, I hope we all do OK.

I hope you do OK too, since I wrote you in as my candidate of choice for all offices on all levels. Good luck!
Boss, you're funny! Peanut, I know you did OK. The most you can do is study the candidates and the issues and choose which you think is the BEST. And it sounds like you have done that.
