Voting is our duty

BY STEVE KRAUSE The way I look at it, voting isn’t just a right. It is a duty. Presidents, senators, congressman/women, mayors, city councilors … they are not appointed positions. We elected these people. If something happens where an elected of cial cannot ful ll a term, and one is appointed, there is an election at the earliest opportunity to ll the position legally (unless a Constitutional chain of succession is followed). That’s pretty much all the Constitution dictates — and all it guarantees. It says nothing about any assurances that one of the two candidates in a nal runoff is lik- able, or whether either, by some happy miracle, mirrors your own political viewpoints. In fact, more often than not, both candidates have gaping holes in their political DNA to that point where, if you dwell only on those, you’d never vote at all.

But I do think a couple flags in the first and second quarters were unrealistic. “Overall, though, we know we have a good road ahead of us.
