Let me explain. No, there is too much. Let me sum up.
The past few weeks have been interesting, politically. An assassination attempt, a stepping down, a stepping up, a convention, a former VP candidate and a weird VP candidate. Here we though things would be boring. And yet we have the same ballot, and the same deadline.
My own notes started here, and include a lot of other links for people who want to dig deeper into matters. I just dropped off my own ballot at one of the many drop boxes throughout the county (I mean, it is SO easy to vote, more people should do it). Here are my recommendations. You can check out various entries elsewhere on the blog for details.
