Subject: Fw: My VOTER RECOMMENDATIONS

I have folks ask me often who to vote for. I am passing along my recommendations for what they are worth. Please keep the list for reference when you vote...AND BE SURE TO VOTE!!!

I need to point out that the election for the extra seat of the COURT OF APPEALS (on the back of the Ballot) is very confusing because it is being used as a test case to try out instant runoff voting. With 13 candidates vying for one seat there will in all liklyhood be a run-off .... but it will be INSTANT RUN-OFF in this test case.

Voters have to vote for a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd choice from among the 13 candidates for the one seat. All three of the candidates that I have listed below are good! The reason I listed Doug McCullough as 1st is because this is State Wide race and it is felt by all seasoned activists that he has the better chance because of name recognition. ... So we really need to try to get one of these three elected. I personally want to see Dan Garner elected. Use your own best judgment on this vote.

I'll try to supply more information about this confusing situation later.

Note: The election for the extra seat of the COURT OF

as a test case to try out instant runoff voting. With 13 candidates vying for

RUN-OFF in this test case.
Voters have to vote for a 1st,  2nd, and   3rd choice from among the 13
