Hamilton County - I voted all Dem today, except one write-in. [View all]

It was easy to vote for all the Dems statewide.
I needed a cheat sheet to make sure I had all the Dem-endorsed judges right. That was easy, too, as the Ham. Co Dems sent out a list.

The write-in was for county commissioner. The endorsed candidate had been asked to step aside when a sitting Repub. commissioner decided against putting a levy request on the ballot for repair of our venerable Music Hall; the initiative had been worked on by a large contingent of businessmen, headed by our now Head of Veterans Affairs, Bob McDonald, recently President of P&G.

The dummy Dem, who has never run for office before, refused to step side for a more seasoned candidate, who would have a better chance, in light of the Repub's vote, to win the seat and turn the County commission blue.
