Who I will be voting for

For New Paltz Highway Superintendent: Mike Nielson - on the Working Families line.

For County Court Judge: Deborah Schneer - on the Working Families line.

For County Clerk: Gilda P. Riccardi for Ulster County Clerk - on the Working Families line.

For Town Board and Supervisor -- since the incumbents have a cake walk with both the Republican and Democratic lines -- who should we write in, just for kicks? I am thinking Jason West and/or Guy Kempe and/or Terence Ward - what are your thoughts?

Did Pete Healey & Patrick O'Donnell have a cakewalk? Just saying... if you really believe in your republicrat candidate, you should vote for that person.

No thanks for votes in my name - or at least be one of the ignorant masses who misspells it even as it's staring them in the face so I can claim plausible deniability.

Brittany, let's remember whose job it is to convince kT and other voters to vote for a candidate - the candidate. We have all been reminded that every vote counts, and that even in a seemingly uncontested election it's probably a good idea to make an effort to get those votes out - starting by voting for yourself, if you're running. The unopposed candidates haven't done that, so if they lose they have only themselves to blame.

For supervisor, lift the write-in thingy and vote "No."

I've long believed that a "no" option should be available for every political race nationwide.

@Terence, I think you've missed my point. I've always been annoyed, both before and after the last Village Election, whenver people adopt this "shoe-in" approach to democracy. It's absurd and completely contradictory. Also, a "no" option is available; we just went over that.

However...

@Martin, if we were on Facebook right now, I would "Like" that 7,000 times!!!
