Tomorrow you vote. Again. Good luck, and I hope you get the Governor you deserve. I think it was Adlai Stevenson who said that there’s nothing more inspiring in human society than the spectacle of the democratic process being bizarrely subverted by a well-funded partisan exploitation of a constitutional loophole.
