Say no to parties, yes to independent voting

Hard to get excited about voting in Georgia, at least where I live, as there are no closely contested races. But here's a sampling of one man's ballot: 

GOVERNOR: Garrett Michael Hayes (my first, and probably not last, Libertarian vote -- Sonny Perdue is a borderline crook, and Mark Taylor is, well, Mark Taylor);

LT. GOVERNOR: Jim Martin (we need more do-gooder nerds in office; what we'll get is another slick Republican who's BFF with developers);

SECRETARY OF STATE: Karen Handel (seems to be a sensible Republican who might end up being Georgia's first female governor);

SECRETARY OF EDUCATION: Denise Majette (soon to become the black Democratic female version of GOP gadfly Guy Milner, minus his millions; regardless, I haven't forgotten incumbent Kathy Cox's wordplay with evolution, er, "biological changes over time");

ATTORNEY GENERAL: Thurbert Baker (his opponent has never prosecuted a case);

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS: Voted in favor of restricting eminent domain and against the ridiculous hunting and fishing initiative -- as if the latter needs state protection.

What's the hunting and fishing initiative? I'm intrigued ... I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter.
