ONE thing I heard from the LP that makes sense: All ballots MUST include the option 'no suitable candidate' which if that wins, the office is unfilled.

Put a "NOBODY" option on every ballot, and you will get MUCH higher turnout, and will achieve far more for good.

Depending on the state, write-ins are an option. And this guy had an interesting idea

I ran for Constable as a write in years back. It was funny because when the one side had no candidate, they were content to let the other party win uncontested, but when I and another guy ran in their party as write ins they QUICKLY rounded up an official candidate to be sure neither of us won. (learned a LOT about 'our system' that day)

That said, this guy is certainly clever and committed if nothing else! 😛

That sounds like a very valuable learning experience. See what really goes into the 'sausage'😂

Yea, I'm pretty jaded, but it was surprising.
