Democracy at work

I'll admit, there was one race in my district -- for county judge -- where I didn't know anything about either of the candidates. Usually, when in doubt, I go Republican (however, contrary to popular belief, I do not always vote GOP across the board).

But this time I had a different strategy. Nolan was with me in the voting booth. So I said, "Nolan, should I vote for the one with the bird or the one with the star?" He picked the one with the star. And so, Democrat Phil Mueller got my vote (he's currently losing to Republican Karen Drago).
