Question about my local election for governor. So our governor is a RINO and I believe she may have cheated somehow in the primaries, and I don't want to vote for her. But if I don't vote for her, is that like giving a vote to the dem or libertarian running for governor? Even if I write the name of the other republican that lost in the primaries, is it like giving a vote to the other parties and away from the "republican"?
This depends if she's ahead in the polls they are showing. If the D candidate for governor has any chance of getting in, then I would say hold your nose and vote for her.
If there is a Libertarian candidate, then this person may already take many votes away from this candidate.
No, Ivey - Alabama.
I wish we had a better choice!
Me too! I just went to Lynda Blanchard's fb page to see what is going on with her lawsuit, here is what she said on August 30th:
Keeping our elections secure should be a top priority for every American. After witnessing the voting fiasco in 2020, when elections were inaccurate in many states, I decided to join in a Mike Lindell sponsored lawsuit against Alabama’s Secretary of State’s Office for using electronic voting machines which were allegedly not secure.
I recently made the difficult decision to remove myself from the lawsuit because of the write-in campaigns connected to the lawsuit. However, the integrity of our nation is at stake. I look forward to working together with positive dialogue and action toward securing our elections.
As a Republican candidate who ran for Governor and came in second place, I wholeheartedly support the Republican ticket. I ask all conservatives and Republicans to vote for the Republicans in each race. We must not open the door for any other party that does not support our conservative values. - Lindy
Have you seen the amendments Alabama has on the voting ballots? I just saw them last night on the sample ballots, there are 10 of them. Have to look them up and read more about them.
You can write in a MAGA conservative on your ballot
I know I thought of that, but won't it still be the same as if I didn't vote for the republican (in this case a RINO) and took a vote away from her giving the dems another step closer to winning? I mean I doubt my one or a few votes would matter in the scheme of things but if a lot of folks don't vote for her then we could end up with someone much worse than the RINO we all know.
In the runoffs for the dems for Governor, altogether the votes came out to -Total votes: 152,692.
In the runoffs for the republicans for Governor, altogether the votes came out to - 619,938.
And it looks like in 2018 during the governor election, about 2600 votes went to write-in votes.
At least sometimes she acts like a republican, like saying the kids here won't need the coof vaxx to go to school. She just makes bad decisions (on purpose) with tax money (you know the game they play with our money), the area the state gets more revenue from is I believe down here in the south end of the state, but she uses it up in the northern part instead of putting it down here, then she wants to tax our I-10 bridge (wants to build a new bridge over the bay & tax it). It's I-10 that stretches across the whole lower part of the US. So if you needed to travel to Fl you will need to cross that bridge or go on the at water level roadway (if you know about it, if not then you think it's the only way through). She originally wanted to tax the bridge at $6 each way, can you imagine local's that have to pay that both ways to go to work? So the whole thing was canceled (even the building the new bridge), now I believe they snuck it through and will charge less but still that means every truck going through will pay and it will trickle down to costing us more at the store. Same for taking pay from people who work on one side of the bay and live on the other side. Less locals may visit the city or less people from the city visiting the beaches, which means less money being spent in the state.
It depends. If there is a 3rd party candidate that is America First, vote for them, no matter what the polls, and fraudsters tell you their "odds of winning" are. And encourage others to do the same. Always vote true to your beliefs, and never just for the sake of "winning."
However, if there are no America First candidates to vote for, who's fault is that? Answer: The Republican party establishment. That's who failed you. And that's who funded, and promoted the RINO.
In that case, see above- vote true to your beliefs. Do you want to empower the RINO party? Or do you you cast a vote to destroy the RINO party for their repeated failures by voting for the democrat most likely to defeat the establishment RINO?
Voting for a democrat sucks, for sure. But, you can at least count on the democrats to hurt the RINO party any way they can (they are nasty creatures) and more importantly, their financial backers, once in power. Pain is an effective means to alter bad behavior.
My point being this: Don't just hope for a better choice of candidates next election cycle- FORCE a better selection of candidates for next election.
