I just went downtown and dropped my postal/early ballot in a dropbox outside the main library, and am feeling accomplished. This is a bit later than I'd intended, but in plenty of time; Election Day is next Tuesday, Nov. 8th.
Part of why I didn't do this sooner is I was trying to decide how to vote on one of our ballot questions, which is about how many store liquor licenses one company can have. I thought it over, decided that I didn't have an opinion, and abstained on that.
I voted yes on the other three ballot questions -- for a higher state income tax rate on annual income over $1 million; new rules for dental insurance (I wasn't sure, but it seemed like a good idea); and to keep the new state law giving driver's licenses to otherwise-qualified drivers regardless of immigration status.
Unsurprisingly, I voted for all the Democratic candidates, including a couple of incumbents with no opposing candidates. One of those is my state senator, who I actively like; we were in his district in Belmont as well.
Things I found mildly surprising: there are five candidates for state auditor, more than for any other office, including a Workers' Party candidate; and there are two candidates for state treasurer, but neither is a Republican.
