For many years now, I receive an absentee ballot several weeks before an election. And I vote or have voted in every election, including primaries, for more than 30+ years. I think of it as my duty and obligation.
With that said, this is the first time in many many years that I did not submit my absentee ballot early.
(I am referring to the Florida Gubernatorial election.)
IMHO, both "major" candidates are incompetent, and possibly criminal. More importantly, I just do not admire or like either of them as individuals.
I also hate "smear" advertising, which was overly abundant on television. Unfortunately the other 3 candidates for governor were not allowed to participate in the debates, nor did they get much television advertising. They were "blocked" from debates by Scott & Crist.
Disappointed at the lack of "good news", I completed and dropped off my ballot this morning, in person, after checking the news. Regrettably, I felt compelled to cast my vote for the lesser of two evils.
