Election Frustration

I am committed to voting in every election. I would encourage every citizen who can vote to take that responsibility seriously and to use it wisely. 

Unfortunately, this election day was frustrating, because the ballot was effectively useless. The first question asked you to choose five candidates from a list of five candidates. Yes, you read that right.

The second race had exactly one candidate.

And that was it. The entire ballot was a rubber stamp for six candidates who were most likely hand picked by the local political machine. 

Please forgive me if I seem a little irritated by these non-choices. This election didn't live up to my expectations for a representative democracy.
