It's depressing. There's nobody on it worth voting for and even if it was our elections are rigged.

Unless you guys have some suggestions I'm thinking about just throwing it away or returning it blank.

i'm thinking voting for the highest-ranking (D) opposition candidates of the (D) incumbents.  But they're all nobodies.

if you vote for Bu Laia (N), that's a throw-away ballot.  but at least, it's a LOL throw-away.

There's a lot of space on the back.

I could always write in Scott Nago for Prison

I'm thinking of sending it back with all the candidates boxes marked and include a bottle of white-out.

I think the problem with politics is that people SERVING make a career out of it and a candidate's qualifications have nothing to do with all these political buzzwords" "affordable housing" "job creation" "affordability" etc. They throw out all these promises but have no plan and lack the skill / experience to fix the problems at hand. Because of this they make the problems worse.
An example, I attended a local neighborhood board meeting to defend a certain range that existed decades before housing. They were electing a board member. There were two candidates: one who was a retired, career bus driver and another with experience in project management and academic achievements. "brah guess who den wen pick?" "Da guy with the most experiencesses with the publik infastrucutre lidat..."
We pick the wrong persons for the job based on metrics that don't have much relevance. Would you have a physical therapist do open heart surgery on you?

Here's another example:

vote for me because I'm this ____ orientation.
Even Dems eat their own. Tam's rebuttal against this candidate are typical copy/paste Democratic talking points: he supported Trump, women's "reproductive healthcare", climate change...
Tam offered no metrics to support his claims that he made: the district a better place, combatting noise and climate change, and working to improve safety.
No Waikiki district surveys, tourist count improvements, economic metrics.
