Up until I got into the booth, I was torn between Yes, No, or abstain. Then I figured, why not. That money would have probably been allocated to something even more useless anyway.

By his analysis, it's clear he doesn't get it...in actuality, a 'yes' on J is an endorsement of the current system wherein local lefties on the Landmark Commission can obstruct at will. Piss off the Green party--support private property rights and vote NO on J! Marlow blew it on J.

I picked American Independent candidate Glenn McMillon Jr. for Secretary of State. All those who took PS 179 last semester probably remember the terrible speech Bruce McPherson gave. The worst part was when he stated that the introduction of foreign language ballots in the 1970s was an important civil rights achievement, and compared it to extending the franchise to blacks and women. He also seemed to be very soft on illegal immigration. I believe that the most important issue that the Secretary of State has the power to deal with is preventing vote fraud, especially voting by non-US citizens. McPherson has made little if any progress in this area, and his above remarks do not indicate he has any intention of doing so. I agree with Pat that the major party candidates for this office will not give us true election reform, so I decided not to reward McPherson simply because of the "R" next to his name and vote third party.
