Who wouldn't? Our entire educational system is premised on having educated citizens, after all. Even so, in a model of responsible party government, all the less well educated really need to know is to vote Democratic! Scott I completely agree with Pattsi. Who wouldn’t? Our entire educational system is premised on having educated citizens, after all. Even so, in a model of responsible party government, all the less well educated really need to know is to vote Democratic!

Information about candidates is so kinetic, even to the day of the actual election. How will those electors who choose to vote absentee and to do so weeks before an election, cast an educated vote when most of the candidate information probably has not been delivered, especially for local candidates? So my major concern is not secrecy, but educated voters. There will have to be massive change of campaigning behavior and distribution of election materials, not the weekend before, such as the pattern with the News-Gazette.
