What's interesting to me is the number of write-ins and blanks and how they're distributed.

It is interesting to see how many people "voted" by not voting!

I would rather have a small amount of people come out who know whats happening and vote with their minds, then a large roup show up full of blind voters. and this quote might help explain to all blank votes
"Abstention means you stayed at home or went to the beach. By casting a blank vote, you're saying you have a political conscience but you don't agree with any of the existing parties."- Jose Saramago

That is an intriguing quote from Saramago. Did anyone here leave the ballot blank or write in your vote? If so, what was your motive?

I think the Saramago quote is right on the money. Thanks, Dale!
