Write-in voting

I don't live in the city so I can't vote in the mayoral Dem primary but I am waiting and hoping that Kevin Gaughan pulls this rabbit out of the hat. As they say though- "I've been burned before" with regard to watching and participating in Buffalo politics in years past, so I truly hope that a NEW Buffalo emerges tonight. In my little corner of the universe, we are doing write-in votes for County Comptroller. It went like this: walk in and register, take a blue card with a number written on it and a folded white paper, go behind a cardboard screen stamped" please return to board of elections", sit down, unfold the paper and ~ what?? Fill in a bubble? Yep that was all. Drop card and filled-out bubble into metal locked box and away it goes at the end of the night under the guard of a sheriff. Sheesh. I don't know what I expected really but -it was pretty anti-climatic anyway.Not a total wash though, where I vote is near a beautiful park and it was a grand night for a walk so we did just that.
