Thread Name: BS: Californians elect Dead Democrat
Subject: RE: BS: Californians elect Dead Democrat
I would suggest that there be a write in, or even that the voter look at the Republican instead of voting strictly by party.
IF we had None of The Above, then I would think that might be best.

There were a number of positions on the ballot here that ONLY had Democratic candidates- Because the Republicans did not have a qualified candidate, should I complain that it was not fair?

I think being dead makes it difficult to perform the functions of the office.



But if a person is no longer qualified to run, SHOULD they remain on the ballot?

What if they had committed some crime, that would disqualify them, but were not convicted until after the nomination? Would you still be commenting?




And if it had been a Republican , would there be such a defensive reaction? - It looks to me like "How about a rational answer for a change, instead of your usual partisan propaganda? " MIGHT apply to several other posts here, as well.

Why is it that you only seem to comment like this when YOU do not AGREE with the "Partisan Propaganda"?
