bullet voting

Bullet voting, voting for a single candidate despite having the option to choose two or more, can be a very powerful tool.

For example, voting in the Republican Primary for only Tim Arone doubles the power of your vote, and that ain't gechate lebe*, to coin a phrase.

If you happen to agree with the Uncle's choices in the Republican Primary (and, since you are all very smart people, I must assume that you do agree) than the most powerful way to vote would be:

For the Town Board Tim Arone and neither Prestia nor Cooper (both Caruso choices).

And for the Republican Committee

    Only Carol Herb in District 1.

    Only Tracy Maggio in District 3.

    Both Tim Arone and Mike Queenan in District 5 (we are lucky enough to have two good people running there and if they both win then Ralph Caruso will lose his seat on his own committee).

    Only Cliff Ader in District 6.

and

    Only Tom Flood in District 7.

If these folks win Tim can continue to keep Ralph from grabbing unlimited power and maybe the Republican Committee will start having announced meetings open to the public.

You gotta hope.
