Fellows are you ready !!! Yep, I made my picks. I am not sure I am going to vote, since I am an independent. But if the races are close, I can always be a spoiler. There are a few races that I am pulling for an upset. But, I am not feeling the party thing. And with the moving of some of the polling places, I think a lot of folks will be discouraged from voting. And the republican driven ID requirement is going to discourage other folks from voting in this little contested election.
You are not going to believe this, especially after you see the slate of candidates running for office. Fort Wayne is the second largest city in Indiana. And you can see that many of the elected positions are unchallenged and some have no one running against them from the other party! So was it should not been too much of a surprise that folks did not show up for the political debate held at IPFW by the political guru, moderator Andy Downs.
This small sampling of candidates should make for a very low voter turnout. The Republicans have a lot riding on this, so the number should be high with the number of candidates seeking the nomination for Mayor.
