| You wasted a vote that could have gone to Blair. |

I don't think they hate Elrich enough to care about that.
Blair voters HATE Elrich. |

So annoying when votes are presumed “wasted” because 1) the candidate might be a long shot or 2) you don’t like him.
Do you want every race to have only two candidates? |
Reality sucks -- People voted for Gary Johnson because they couldn't stand Hillary or Trump. Or just on principle. And that's why we have a botched Supreme Court. Or Ralph Nader throwing the super-tight election from Gore to Bush. What we NEED is ranked choice voting. |
Just need runoffs for 50%+1 |
You will have sent a message by intentionally voting for a candidate who you know who cannot win, unintentional consequences be damned. |
| So annoying someone on this board shows up every day making this same argument. You aren’t going to win a MoCo election by posting on this board, esp not this same tired argument. |
You also are not going to win an election if your name is Hans Riemer running for the County Executive. |
| I voted for that Peter guy |
Makes as much sense as voting for Riemer. |
You wasted a vote that could have gone to Elrich. |
Why even have two candidates? Clearly there are wasted votes if you have more than one candidate. |
| I was going to vote for Reimer but now I'm considering Elrich. Is it going to be a close election, Elrich vs Blair? I'm certainly not voting Blair. What a disaster. He should just be a Republican. |
What about Blair’s platform screams Republican to you? https://www.blairformontgomery.com/vision |
I know. Here, if you aren't insanely progressive, you are seen as a fascist. No room for moderates or liberals. |
