The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

So, I filled out my vote-by-mail ballot for NY today, and:

1. I notice there are two lines with identical candidates for all office: Republican and Conservative. But there's only one line for Democratic candidates. That strikes me as unfair. Why do republicans get two? Shouldn't there at least be a "Liberal" line that duplicates all the Democratic line candidates?

Note: well, there is the "Working Families" line that duplicates the Democratic candidates for Pres/Veep and Senator, but the rest of the offices are blank.

2. For all he judge positions - Supreme, County, Family, District - there's only one candidate name for Democratic, Republican and Conservative, and they're all the same. Are all the judges running unopposed? Are judges not party affiliated?
