Jen-ay:
If you will read my post carefully, you will see that I said I wanted to cast a ballot "against" Ms. Hanohano. Although there is a curtain on the voting booth, I will tell you that I voted "for" Anthony Marzi, because I agree with you that he was the best candidate. As I also said in my first post, I know of others who did the same thing. I was trying to point out to Damon that his reading of the numbers was incorrect as indicating that Ms. Hanohano's support was stronger than that for Mr. Blas.
At the same time, our votes are each citizen's primary means of political power. Anyone who did not use his/her vote in that person's opinion of the best way to achieve his/her aims is derelict in the citizen's principal duty.
And, as Jerry Carr said, Mr. Blas new nothing of this "maneuver".
